France manager Didier Deschamps has clarified that his decision to omit captain Kylian Mbappe from this month’s Nations League double-header is a “one-off” measure.

The 25-year-old Real Madrid forward was not included in the squad for the upcoming matches against Israel and Italy.

Mbappe had been excluded from France’s October squad for two Nations League games as a precautionary step, following his recent return from injury. He had been expected to make his return to the squad this month.

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

The forward, who made a free transfer move from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid last summer, has faced challenges in finding his best form at the Bernabeu.

Mbappe has scored eight goals in 15 matches for the La Liga giants, but he has only found the net once in his last five appearances.

Despite winning both the Champions League and La Liga titles last season, Real Madrid suffered a 4-0 defeat to arch-rivals Barcelona last month and now trail the Catalan side by nine points in the league.

A World Cup winner in 2018, Mbappe has netted 48 goals in 86 appearances for the French national team.
