Absent from the last gathering of the Blues to recover after a slight injury, Kylian Mbappé would have already wanted to skip the September gathering this Thursday. His parents would have convinced him to go anyway.
He finally changed his mind. Before skipping the October gathering of the French team, Kylian Mbappé wanted to skip the September one. The captain of the Blues finally responded. A decision to which Wilfrid Mbappé and Fayza Lamari are no strangers. As reported The Team and confirms RMC Sport, Thursday October 31, the parents of the Real Madrid striker convinced him to honor the selection and not skip the Blues.
Kylian Mbappé therefore joined the Blues to face Italy and Belgium in the Nations League.
The beginnings of his October absence
The reasons which would have encouraged Mbappé to want to skip this gathering would be the complicated summer he went through, between the failure of the Blues at the Euro and his arrival at Real Madrid, with complicated first matches. Which pushed him to ask Didier Deschamps not to call on him for this meeting. Before his parents intervened.
Kylian Mbappé was finally absent from the following gathering, for the matches against Israel and Belgium, officially to treat an injury, while he played a few days before Real Madrid against Villarreal. An absence which had not gone unnoticed, since beyond being absent despite his role as captain, he had been seen in a nightclub for two evenings in Stockholm.
Didier Deschamps, when announcing the October list of the Blues, affirmed that there “is no concern about the commitment” of Kylian Mbappé. “At the last rally, Kylian was not in the best psychological conditions for different reasons,” the coach revealed, however, specifying that he did not want to “go into details,” but still adding that the player was facing a “significant wait” in Madrid.
