Mbappé declined the call-up to the national team but will play for Real in La Liga

According to rumors, the head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, was shocked that Kylian Mbappé started for Real Madrid in the match against Villarreal.

Details: Deschamps confirmed that he spoke with the team captain before the announcement of the squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Israel and Belgium. Mbappé was not included in the squad as both agreed it would be better for him to stay in Madrid to recover his fitness after a recent hamstring injury.

However, as reported by Diario AS, Deschamps is puzzled by what is happening at the club, as it was believed that the 25-year-old player needed rest.

Additionally: The coach will closely monitor Mbappé's performance in the match against the "Yellow Submarine" to assess whether he can play the full 90 minutes, and he may seek information from Real if the player is substituted at halftime.
