Didier Deschamps will reportedly call up Kylian Mbappe and discuss his future as France captain after the striker was left out of their recent squad.

The Real Madrid superstar, who had been an integral part of Deschamps' side since winning the World Cup in 2018, was not involved during the international breaks in October and November.

Initially, he had been injured and elected to focus on his recovery rather than join up with the side. However, for the latest squad, Deschamps explained it was a 'one-off choice' to snub the forward.

Now, reports suggest that Deschamps has plans to speak with the Real Madrid star and discuss his future as the France captain - as his international career hits yet another obstacle.
