Kylian Mbappé will not participate in the next gathering of the France team. The captain of the Blues does not appear in the list communicated by Didier Deschamps for the Nations League matches against Israel and Italy during this international break in November. A decision that surprised Real Madrid, even if it works out in the end.
Once again, Kylian Mbappé is not present in the blue group of Didier Deschamps. The captain of the French team was not called by the coach, although this time he seemed to want to come. A decision which challenges but which also makes people happy on the other side of the Pyrenees.
“Kylian wanted to come”
At a press conference last week, Didier Deschamps had justified his choice not to call Kylian Mbappé for the November gathering: “ I had several exchanges with him. what I can tell you is that Kylian wanted to come. It is a one-off choice for this gathering with the two matches awaiting us. I can understand that this is not enough for you, but I am not going to enter into an argument that leads to interpretations. I don't want to tell you more, I take responsibility for this decision. We may not agree with certain topics, but it is my responsibility to make the decisions. I repeat once again: because it’s better that way. »
Real Madrid happy
If at the start, the leaders of the Real Madrid welcomed the return of Mbappé in French teamthis non-summoning would be rather well received. According to The Team, Kylian Mbappé will really be able to recharge their batteries during this break. There is no question of a night trip to a foreign country, it is above all a question of getting back into physical and especially mental shape. We'll see if these two weeks of break have done him any good.
