As in October, the Blues will have to do without their captain to face Israel then Italy. This time, Kylian Mbappé wanted to come. But Didier Deschamps decided otherwise, simply considering that “it was better that way”. But for many, this non-selection looks a lot like a punishment and is only the consequence of his refusal to come in October.

Some also consider that Kylian Mbappé could be sanctioned again when he returns next March. The captain’s armband, which he inherited after the international retirement of Hugo Lloris at the end of the 2022 World Cup, appears in their eyes to now be too big for him.

Kylian Mbappé changed his behavior with the armband

“Is he in the psychological condition to be captain of the France team? There is a lot of talk about mental health at the moment and I think he is not in optimal shape to be captain. For that, you have to be turned towards others, be sovereign yourself and serene, it is not! The load is too heavy for him today,” Bixente Lizarazu told Téléfoot.

“The question of captaincy is legitimateconfirmed Pierre Bouby at the microphone of La Chaîne L’Equipe. Because when you have your captain who is 100% and is not injured and does not want to come to the France team, that poses a real problem. And all the more so since Kylian Mbappé has changed his behavior with the armband. He took control and Didier Deschamps crashed. »
