Deschamps considering stripping Mbappé of captaincy

It appears that the relationship between Kylian Mbappé and Didier Deschamps has reached a breaking point, prompting the French coach to consider a bold decision.

Details: According to L’Équipe, Didier Deschamps is planning to have a discussion with Mbappé regarding his potential removal as captain of the French national team.

Deschamps reportedly believes that the captaincy has become an overwhelming burden for Mbappé, contributing to his disappointing performance at Euro 2024.

Furthermore, the coach feels that a true captain must always be present for the team. The Real Madrid forward opted to skip the last four Nations League matches, a move that has not gone unnoticed.

Possible replacements for the captain’s armband include N'Golo Kanté, Aurélien Tchouaméni, or Ibrahima Konaté.

Reminder: On Sunday, France defeated Italy 3-1 to top their group in the Nations League.
