After France drew 0-0 with Israel in Nations League, Deschamps was again asked about reasons behind Real Mrid striker’s absence from his squ.

“It’s a fact that he is in a difficult situation,” Deschamps told brocaster TF1. “Obviously, he is going through a period which is not happiest of his career.”

Mbappé was not included in Deschamps’ list for match against Israel and a game in Italy later this this week.

Mbappé was also absent from previous France garing because of a minor thigh injury. This time he is not injured.

“He wanted to come,” Deschamps said. “I think it’s better for him (not to be selected) at moment. Everybody can go through a difficult period. re is a physical element, and a psychological one.”

Mbappé’s performances have been below par in recent weeks after he joined Mrid from PSG this summer. He has one goal in his last seven club games and hasn’t ded to his 48 goals for France since June.
