In October, injured in the biceps femoris, Kylian Mbappé discussed with the coach his non-presence on the list. Didier Deschamps finally justified this absence by a desire to “don’t take risks”. But his tenure with Real Madrid two days later did not fail to generate ink. “I had several discussions with him, I thought about it, and I made this decision. Kylian wanted to come but it’s my choice. And it’s not his extra-sporting problems that are in question. is a one-off choice for this gathering, justified the coach. It's better that way, and I won't say more.”
If the star striker of the Blues is no longer injured, he nevertheless remains on mixed performances with Real Madrid, and a legal vagueness still surrounds his stay in Sweden during the last international break. Already subject to controversy, the absence of Kylian Mbappé from the French team took another turn when the Swedish press revealed the opening of a rape investigation which would concern the French football star. He called these articles “fake news”. The courts have not officially indicted him.
