Kylian Mbappé will therefore have missed two meetings with the France team and will not wear the Blues jersey by next March. It is a choice of Didier Deschamps if we trust his words. The absence of the captain of the French selection will not be a debate or a discussion with the locker room.
This is a first for a captain of theFrench team to miss two meetings in a row without being handicapped by an injury. But Kylian Mbappé did it. Left to rest last October due to muscular discomfort according to the statements of Didier Deschamps, Mbappé wanted this time to take part in the international break by honoring his responsibilities as captain. It was the coach who decided otherwise.
“I have nothing to say on this matter”
Invited to speak about group life without the captainFrench team, Didier Deschamps refused to provide any information on the subject. “I have nothing to say on this matter.” As for any discussion or explanation with his locker room regarding the new absence of Mbappé at the gathering of thethe French team. “That might be useful to you because I'm sure you'd know very quickly! My decisions are always important. The players are the players.”
“They do not have to participate in a non-summoning or a summons”
“They are on the field, but they don’t have to participate in a non-call or a call-up. We have to put things into perspective. The 23 who are there will be affected by the two matches. I am aware that this will occupy a lot of media attention, but I am not going to go into explanations or anything. Because I don’t see the point in doing it.” the conclusion Didier Deschamps at a press conference this Thursday. The stage is set and the Blues know what to expect when arriving at Clairefontaine early next week.
