It is an understatement to say that the absence of Kylian Mbappé from the list of the France team surprised more than one. Questioned at length on this subject last Thursday when he presented the list of players selected to face Israel and Italy, Didier Deschamps assured that it was his decision. “I had several exchanges with him. I thought about it and made this decision at this gathering. Because I think it’s better that way. I’m not going to argue. What I can tell you is that Kylian Mbappé wanted to come», Explained the national coach, suggesting that it was a sanction.
A version that didn’t really please those around Mbappé. “This is an erroneous or incomplete version of the truth. It’s much more complex than that.

The rest will come later», Explained the close circle of the Real Madrid star striker. End of story? Not really. In his show TPMPCyril Hanouna, whose proximity to Nasser Al-Khelaifi is known, confirmed DD’s thesis, at the same time dismantling that put forward in the Team by the Mbappé clan. “He says that even though it is indeed a decision of the coach, it is indeed Didier Deschamps who decided not to select Kylian Mbappé.»
