Returning from injury this week, Kylian Mbappé will not participate in the next gathering of the France team. The captain of the Blues was judged too fair. However, his current condition does not prevent him from playing with Real Madrid. A situation that is very difficult to explain for Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.
To face Israel and Belgium in the Nations League, the France team will have to deal without Kylian Mbappé. The Real Madrid striker recently returned to action following a thigh injury. So even if he came into play against Lille (1-0 defeat) on Wednesday in the Champions League, Didier Deschamps preferred to spare his captain who was deemed too fair for the upcoming rally.
Mbappé withdraws but not injured…
« I spoke with Kylian of course and due to his situation which is still uncertain after his entry into play on Wednesday, he has a match on Saturday and there are questionsexplained the Blues coach on Thursday. He does not have a serious problem, but it requires care to recover properly. I’m not here to take risks. This is why Kylian is not on the list. »
If the explanation did not convince everyone, it is because the Merengue still played more than half an hour at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. And obviously, Real Madrid considers him fit enough for the La Liga match against Villarreal on Saturday. Kylian Mbappé indeed appears in the group called by Carlo Ancelotti. Difficult to explain this inconsistency, even for the White House coach.
« I do not want to comment on the choices of the national coachesdodged the Italian. Mbappé had a problem that seemed resolved, but is not yet 100% resolved. Today (Friday) he trained normally again and Didier Deschamps decided not to call him up. Mbappé spoke to his coach. I know that the club medical staff speaks to the national team medical staff. So they had to talk about it and make this decision. » Not very convincing, especially when we remember that Real Madrid had asked the FFF not to call the former Parisian during the previous meeting.
