You have to go back in time to find any trace of a list of Didier Deschamps without Kylian Mbappé. The last time was in 2019, when the ex-Parisian had already had to give up a rally due to a thigh injury. But this week, his absence had a completely different resonance, firstly because of his now role as captain which requires a certain duty of exemplary behavior, but above all because he played last weekend with Real Madrid against Villarreal, even being the holder (2-0).
Singled out for having prioritized his club to the detriment of his selection, the 2018 world champion has not, and should not, speak on the subject. In the meantime, he contented himself with a laconic message on his Instagram account to wish his teammates good luck this evening against Israel. “Good match”he wrote with a thumb and a flag of France.
