Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe doesn’t want to come back to France’s national team any time soon. Reports suggest that the Frenchman is even considering retiring from international football.
As the international break approaches, many expected the 25-year-old to rejoin Les Bleus after missing October’s fixtures due to a reported minor injury. However, France manager Didier Deschamps made the surprising decision to leave his captain out of the squad for this month’s Nations League clashes.
According to 90Min, the forward has not been selected for Les Bleus’ upcoming matches against Israel on November 14 and Italy on November 17.
According to journalist Romain Molina, there are tensions between the player’s entourage, Didier Deschamps and the French Football Federation.
Mbappe’s mother, Fayza Lamari, suspects a media conspiracy against her son, while Mbappe feels he doesn’t play well for the national team due to Deschamps’ tactics.
Meanwhile, other French players are reportedly frustrated with Mbappe’s reluctance to take responsibility and accept criticism.
Tribuna reported that Mbappe personally requested to be left out of the France squad to “regain his form.”
