This list went out on October 3, 2024. Kylian Mbappe, who is currently playing for Real Madrid of Spain, did not appear, because he recently suffered an ankle injury, when his team played with Athletico Madrid on Sunday and they drew 1-1.
Kylian Mbappe appeared in Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Lille in the UEFA Champions League, where he came on as a substitute.
Although Kylian Mbappe is back on the pitch after his injury last week, France coach Didier Deschamps has not decided to use him for France's two games against Israel on October 10. in Budapest, and another will play against the Belgian national team in Brussels on October 14.
Coach Didier Deschamps, speaking to the media, said that not calling Kylian Mbappe, who is already the captain of the national team, was discussed by both of them, so he decided to give him time to recover first.
He said: "I talked to Kylian, he has a minor injury, I don't want to make a decision to use him that will not affect him or affect us. That is why he did not appear in the list of players we will use in these two games."
