Recent comments by Didier Deschamps suggesting that Kylian Mbappé’s absence from the French national team isn’t causing any issues appear to be at odds with reality. It seems there’s more to the story than Deschamps has let on.
Details: According to journalist Romain Molina, Mbappé is in conflict with Deschamps, which has led to a deterioration in their relationship. Tensions between the two have reportedly escalated, with the forward now unwilling to represent the national team. Molina suggests that Mbappé, at just 25 years old, might even consider ending his career with the French squad altogether.
Reminder:Mbappé was left out of the French squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Israel and Italy in November. Since his summer move to Real Madrid, he has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 15 appearances for Los Blancos.
