Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that it was not his decision for France coach, Didier Deschamps to remove Kylian Mbappe from his latest squad.
Deschamps had on Thursday unveiled his 23-man squad for France’s upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Italy and Israel.
But Mbappe’s name was noticeably absent, sparking surprise and speculation among fans.
The latest omission was the player’s fourth consecutive absence from the national team.
Speaking on the development ahead of Real Madrid’s LaLiga clash with Osasuna on Saturday, Ancelotti also noted that Mbappe is motivated.
“Mbappé out of France squad? Well, it’s not my decision. He is my player, he is motivated and working hard,” Ancelotti said at his pre-match press conference.
“He is training really well. Not just him but everyone. It’s not just Kylian, all the players need to work to play to our full potential.”
