Deschamps has spoken out about the situation with Mbappe, who did not travel to the France

In the coming days, the French national team will face UEFA Nations League matches against Israel and Belgium, but there is considerable debate surrounding the absence of Kylian Mbappé from the squad.

Details: The issue stems from Mbappé suffering a muscle injury just before the announcement of the squad, which forced him to miss the derby against Atlético Madrid.

However, contrary to the initial medical assessment, the Real Madrid forward made a surprise return to the starting lineup in a recent match against Villarreal. Consequently, the head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, had to address the situation. Here’s what he said:

“The interests of clubs and the interests of national teams inevitably clash. We must also remember that the club is the employer, while the federation is not the employer.”

In his first 11 matches for Real Madrid across all competitions, Mbappé has scored 7 goals.

Reminder: In the last match against Villarreal, Real's right-back Dani Carvajal suffered a serious injury and will not play again this season.
