The coach of the France team has decided not to call Kylian Mbappé for this new international break.
Kylian Mbappé (86 caps), who came on in the 57th minute during Real Madrid’s 1-0 defeat against Lille, will remain in Madrid during the international break which will see the France team face Israel on October 10 and Belgium on the 14th as part of the League of Nations.
Deschamps made this decision after discussing with the player: “I spoke with Kylian, there is a match on Saturday, in 48 hours with question marks, he has a problem which is not serious but which requires care so that he recovers well. I’m not here to take risks.
This is also what the newspaper L’Equipe reports: “Both parties, player and coach, in agreement with Real Madrid, after having discussed with the French Football Federation, accepted that he recovers in Madrid from the muscular pain he suffered from in his left thigh. The fact of calling him up without him being in full possession of his means would have imposed a significant physical burden on him during a season where the number of matches is considerable.
Mbappé will therefore not participate in the next two matches of the France team and will have to wait until the next international break, in November, to rejoin the selection of which he is captain. This is good news for Ancelotti who will be able to count on him during the two weeks of break to work and eliminate any risk of relapse given the busy schedule.
On the Madrilenian side, besides Mbappé, Ferland Mendy (10 caps) was not called up by Deschamps either. On the other hand, Tchouaméni (36 caps), who was excluded from the last list and Camavinga (21 caps), who has just returned from injury, are part of the France group. In the case of Camavinga, his presence within the national team will allow him to gain minutes in order to regain rhythm after a long absence.
