Bixente Lizarazu spoke this Sunday about the absence of Kylian Mbappé during this international gathering.
The information had the effect of a small bomb last Thursday: for the second time in a row, Kylian Mbappé is absent from an international gathering. A strange situation for the captain and star player of theFrench team. But unlike last month, the striker would have liked to come this time, and it was Didier Deschamps who made the decision not to call him up.
For Bixente Lizarazu, it is indeed a sanction. “ I tried to interpret that because Didier’s words were quite cryptic. I understood that Kylian wanted to come so for me it is a sanction.

Why Deschamps is doing without Mbappé
The Téléfoot consultant clarified his remarks in the program. “ Didier didn’t like this sequence, and he wanted to show it. This does not call everything into question because we are not depriving ourselves of Mbappé in the long term. But the message had to be sent. »

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 », concluded the 1998 world champion.
