He skipped the October actions allegedly to heal an injury, and he did not receive an invitation to the November ones.
France coach Didier Deschamps decided not to call up the biggest star Kylian Mbappe for the last two Nations League matches against Italy and Israel.
The omission from the list obviously shows that not everything is ideal in the relationship between Dešan and Mbappe, and it arrives at a moment when Real's super-reinforcement in the royal club is not going as he expected.
"Talked to Kilian and made a decision. It's better this way" was a somewhat enigmatic Dešan.
He pointed out that Mbaper wanted to play this time.
"He wanted to come and be with us, there are no other problems, but as I said, it's better this way," added the France coach.
There will be no captain and big stars, but there will be Ngolo Kante, Adrien Rabiot and Dayo Upamecano again, whom Dešan brought back to the national team, while instead of Alfonso Areola, he invited Lucas Chevalier, the great goalkeeper of Lille.
