The football season is still far from over. In the wake of the Champions League final on May 31, the Final Four of the League of Nations will be contested, the Blues thus having an appointment with Spain from June 5. And the final of the League of Nations passed, it will then be time to look to the United States, where the first club World Cup will be competed from June 14 to July 13.
Pending July, Kylian Mbappé will nevertheless be entitled to a few days of vacation before joining the French team. Real Madrid played his last Liga match this Saturday, and the tricolor striker was not expected in Clairefontaine before Friday May 30.
But to believe The teamReal Madrid asked the Bondynois as well as in Aurélien Tchouamed to join the French team until Monday, June 2, which marks the official start of the international truce. And too bad if the Blues must face Spain, only three days later.
Kylian Mbappé is not the only player concerned
“Clubs are in their rights, said Didier Deschamps at a press conference. If some clubs decide to release their players until June 2, I will not be able to do anything about it. Will it be the case? I don't want to give them ideas. »» And if Didier Deschamps was smiling in front of the media when talking about the subject, the tricolor coach has something to make the grimace.
Because Real Madrid is not the only club to want to hold back its players. The same is true of Chelsea with Malo Gusto. And this while the Blues will also have to deal with many absences-William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano, Jules Koundé, Wesley Fofana …-and a final of the Champions League which will mobilize no less than seven players of the French team: Ousmane Dembélé, Lucas Hernandez, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaïre-Emery And Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard among the Milanese.
