Kylian Mbappe has been left out of France’s squad for their upcoming Nations League matches, with Didier Deschamps saying it is a “one-off decision”.

Mbappe played the full 90 minutes in Real Madrid’s 3-1 defeat to Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, and Deschamps did not say if the forward was injured.

The France captain also missed Les Bleus’ last two matches, being rested despite his return to fitness in time for the October international break, with Mbappe coming under scrutiny for his absence.

The 25-year-old has struggled for form as of late, and although he has scored eight goals in 15 appearances since joining Madrid, he has hit the back of the net just once in his last six outings.

“I’ve had discussions with him, it is a decision that I took for this block of matches only,” Deschamps told a press conference on Thursday. “Kylian wanted to come.”
