Italy-France, Mbappé will not be there. Deschamps: “I’ll tell you why”

In the France who will face Italy in Milan on Sunday 17 November will not be there Kylian Mbappé. The Real Madrid striker, fresh from the heavy home defeat against Milan in the Champions League, was in fact excluded from the squad ct Didier Deschamps. However, there do not appear to be any non-sporting reasons behind the decision, which also troubled the former PSG’s last period, but a simple technical choice.

“Was my choicebut it’s better this way”, declared Deschamps, “I spoke with him and I made this decision. I’m not going to argue. I can say that Kylian wanted to come but also that non-sporting problems are not behind this decision”. Benjamin Pavard, Inter defender, is also excluded from the squad, while several players from Serie A are present: Theo Hernandez (Milan), Mateo Guendouzi (Lazio), Manu Koné (Roma) and Marcus Thuram (Inter).
