A new controversy arises around the absence of Mbappé from Deschamps' list. The French coach and the entourage of the French international now disagree on the reasons for his non-selection.
Last Thursday, Didier Deschamps revealed the list of 23 players selected for the Nations League matches against Israel and Italy, scheduled for November 14 and 17. As in October, the Blues coach chose not to call Kylian Mbappé.
Asked about this new absence of his captain for the November gathering, the Basque technician explained that he had made this decision while the Real Madrid striker had expressed his wish to participate in the next events of the French team. A statement contradicted by the Mbappé clan.
Deschamps' comments denied
“This is an erroneous or incomplete version of the truth. It's much more complex than that. To believe that it is a decision of the coach is false. But the most important thing is that Kylian can rediscover the joy of playing football. The rest will come later”his entourage informed the newspaper The Team this Tuesday.
If we are now certain of not seeing Mbappé again in the blue jersey before 2025, it remains to be determined whether his return could take place as early as March.
