<p>France coach Didier Deschamps said that there are both physical and psychological reasons for <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/kylian-mbappe-scores-as-real-madrid-kick-off-champions-league-with-win-23394965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Kylian Mbapp&eacute;</strong></a>&rsquo;s rough patch of form.</p>
<p>After France drew 0-0 with Israel in the Nations League, Deschamps was again asked about the reasons behind the Real Madrid striker&rsquo;s absence from his squad.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a fact that he is in a difficult situation,&rdquo; Deschamps told broadcaster TF1. &ldquo;Obviously, he is going through a period which is not the happiest of his career.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Mbappe was not included in Deschamps&rsquo; list for the match against Israel and a game in Italy later this this week.</p>
<p>Mbappe was also absent from the previous <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/france-italy-portugal-target-quarters-23428804" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>France</strong></a> gathering because of a minor thigh injury. This time he is not injured. &ldquo;He wanted to come,&rdquo; Deschamps said.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s better for him [not to be selected] at the moment. Everybody can go through a difficult period. There is a physical element, and a psychological one.&rdquo;</p>
