Kylian Mbappe Left Out of France Squad For Second Consecutive Camp<\/h2>\n

Kylian Mbappe will miss France’s upcoming international fixtures against Israel and Italy after being omitted by Didier Deschamps.<\/p>\n

It marks the second consecutive camp the 2018 World Cup winner has been left out of, which has pricked the ears of the Les Bleus fanbase and beyond.<\/p>\n

It comes after a rocky start to life in Madrid which has seen him shoehorned into a leading striker role, rather than deployed in his natural, and arguably more effective role as a left-sided forward – a position locked down by Vinicius Jr.<\/p>\n

Suggestions have even been made that Mbappe’s arrival in Madrid has unsettled a delicate ecosystem that was already brimming with egos last season.<\/p>\n

Last month, Mbappe’s compatriot Thierry Henry even went as far as suggesting PSG are more stable<\/a> without the club’s all-time top scorer.<\/p>\n

Why Was Kylian Mbappe Left Out?<\/h2>\n

Didier Deschamps has been quick to contextualise Mbappe’s second straight omission, and has sought to stamp out any rumours.<\/p>\n

“I had several exchanges with him. I thought about it and made this decision about this gathering. I think it’s better like this. I’m not going to argue,” Deschamps told the media.<\/p>\n

“What I can tell you, two things: Kylian wanted to come, and it is not the extra-sporting problems that come into play from the moment the presumption of innocence exists.<\/p>\n
