Kylian Mbappe ruled out of France's Nations League matches due to injury, says coach Didier Deschamps

Deschamps informed reporters in Paris that he had a conversation with Kylian regarding his issue, which he deemed as not serious. However, due to not wanting to take any risks, Kylian will not be included in the squad.

"He had such an impact that we can't play in the same way," Deschamps said of losing Griezmann, who quit aged 33 after winning 137 caps.

"I am not necessarily going to change the system, but I am not going to look for an equivalent player."

France play Israel on Thursday, October 10 in an away fixture moved to Budapest due to the security situation in the Middle East.

Les Bleus, Nations League winners in 2021, will then take on Belgium in Brussels on Monday, October 14.

France have three points after their first two outings in Group A2, which is topped by Italy with six points.
