Struggling captain Mbappé once again left out of France squad

Associated Press  

Struggling to make an impact at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé has again been left out of the France squad. He would not elaborate on his choice to do without the striker, but said it was not related to recent reports in Swedish media that the former Paris Saint-Germain star was the subject of a rape investigation “I’m not going to argue,” Descamps said. Mbappé was invisible during the 4-0 loss to Barcelona last month in the clasico and wasn’t a factor this week in a 3-1 loss to AC Milan in the Champions League. His absence from Deschamp’s squad last month turned into controversy when he started a Spanish league game for Madrid following his omission, amid sharp criticism from fans.
