France coach decides not to call up Mbappé

It is the second successive France squad from which the national team captain has been absent after he also missed the October double-header against Israel and Belgium.

"I have spoken with him and I have made the decision for this get-together because I think it is for the best," Deschamps told reporters at a press conference in Paris.

The 25-year-old Mbappé was rested for last month's matches in order to help him recover from a minor thigh injury suffered playing for Real.
