Didier Deschamps, coach of the “Roosters” national team, announced the team’s list that will enter this month’s camp (from October 7 to 15), from which Kylian Mbappe was absent.
Mbappe suffered a hamstring injury last September 24, during the match against Deportivo Alaves, amid reports that he would be absent for about 3 weeks.
But he missed one match, which was the derby against Atletico Madrid (1-1) last Sunday, before appearing again 8 days after the injury as a substitute in the defeat against Lille (1-0) in the Champions League.
Deschamps said in press statements during the past few days about Mbappe’s exclusion: “I have already spoken with Mbappe, and his condition is unstable even with his participation yesterday with Real Madrid.”
French newspapers blamed Real Madrid for “lack of cooperation,” and the player’s motives for representing France at the present time were questioned. The newspaper “L’Equipe” said that Mbappe is destroying his image with the French national team, as there is a current dispute in France due to the player not being with the national team in exchange for… His participation with Real Madrid.
The French national team captain returned to the starting lineup during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win against Villarreal in the Spanish League.
However, this situation is rumored to have upset Didier Deschamps, who chose not to call him up for next week’s UEFA Nations League matches, and that he spoke to the player who confirmed that he needs a period of rest due to a hamstring problem.
Patrice Evra, the former France national team player, also criticized Mbappe’s behavior regarding the issue, claiming that Deschamps treats Real Madrid differently than he does with Paris Saint-Germain.
In addition to Evra’s statements, the French newspaper “L’Equipe” confirmed this dispute, by claiming that Mbappe “is harming his image and putting the coach in a difficult position.”
The French national team is preparing for two matches in the upcoming international break, the most prominent of which will be against the Belgium national team, on October 14 in Brussels.
During the previous international break, the French national team succeeded in defeating the Belgium national team, 2-0, in the match that was held in Paris.
