Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that it was not his decision for France coach, Didier Deschamps to remove Kylian Mbappe from his latest squad.<\/p>\n
Deschamps had on Thursday unveiled his 23-man squad for France\u2019s upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Italy and Israel.<\/p>\n
But Mbappe\u2019s name was noticeably absent, sparking surprise and speculation among fans.<\/p>\n
The latest omission was the player\u2019s fourth consecutive absence from the national team.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the development ahead of Real Madrid\u2019s LaLiga clash with Osasuna on Saturday, Ancelotti also noted that Mbappe is motivated.<\/p>\n
\u201cMbapp\u00e9 out of France squad? Well, it\u2019s not my decision. He is my player, he is motivated and working hard,\u201d Ancelotti said at his pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is training really well. Not just him but everyone. It\u2019s not just Kylian, all the players need to work to play to our full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
