Real star missing again
France without Kylian Mbappe: “It’s better this way!”
France's national soccer team will be without Kylian Mbappé for the upcoming Nations League games against Israel on November 14 and the top clash with Italy three days later. Team boss Didier Deschamps named the squad without his superstar on Thursday.

The Real Madrid striker, who had been suffering from an injury, had already been left out of the Equipe Tricolore's two previous international matches against Israel (4-1) and Belgium (2-1) in October, although he had been back in action for Real at the time. In consultation with Deschamps and Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, Mbappe (25) preferred to train in Madrid.
Rape allegations
During this time, the France captain had traveled privately to Stockholm. In mid-October, media reports about a rape investigation in Sweden became public, against which Mbappe defended himself.
"He knows that he has absolutely nothing to reproach himself with," his lawyer Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard told the broadcaster TF1. He announced that he would press charges for defamation or presenting a fabricated offense. "Kylian wanted to come, it's not because of non-sporting problems," Deschamps reiterated.
