France manager Didier Deschamps has clarified that the exclusion of Kylian Mbappe from the squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Israel and Italy is a temporary decision. Deschamps noted that the 25-year-old Real Madrid forward, who recently returned from injury, was eager to participate. Despite a struggling start at Madrid, where Mbappe has scored eight goals but only one in his last five appearances, Deschamps emphasized the decision was specific to this match block. Mbappe remains a key player with 48 goals in 86 appearances for the national team.
