Mbappe excluded from France team

France head coach Didier Deschamps confirmed Mbappe’s exclusion on Thursday.

The Real Madrid has now missed four games with Les Bleus.

Mbappe has faced criticism for his performances so far, with Real Madrid trailing Barcelona by nine points in La Liga, while France sits in 18th place in their Champions League group.

“I’ve had discussions with him, it is a decision that I took for this block of matches only,” Deschamps told a press conference. “Kylian wanted to come.”

Last month, Mbappe faced criticism in his home country for skipping France’s Nations League games against Israel and Belgium, despite being available to play for Madrid.

“We may not agree on everything,” Deschamps added. “These are discussions I can have with the players. I’m not here to be told by the players that I’m the best and the most handsome. I listen to them. I’ve always been inspired by these discussions, whether individual or collective, protecting all the players.”

“That’s why I can have many discussions that can go beyond the sphere of the pitch, because they know very well that we know who has spoken if something comes up. These exchanges are important to me. With the advantage of hindsight, calm and as much clarity as possible, I make the decisions that seem best to me.”

France will take on Israel next Thursday at the Stade de France before they travel to Italy on November 17.
