Kylian Mbappe does not want to play for France again under Didier Deschamps, according to a report.

The Real Madrid attacker is once again in hot water in his home country. During the last international break, Mbappe came under fire for traveling to Stockholm while he was supposed to get back to full fitness after being left out of France's squad by Deschamps to give him time to rest.

However, since then, the situation has only become more tense. Mbappe has again been omitted by Deschamps, but this time, it seems that the player is not in agreement with his coach.

Deschamps provided a terse explanation for his decision, but made sure to insist that Mbappe had wanted to join up with Les Bleus. Journalist Romain Molina, however, asserts that the France captain simply refused to be called-up.

Interestingly, earlier this week, before the squad was announced, L'Equipe stated that Mbappe was due to return but would prefer to stay in Madrid, which seems to lend credence to Molina's claim.

The journalist, though, goes even further still. He states that Mbappe no longer wants to be part of the France setup as long as Deschamps is in charge. The two, it is claimed, have fallen out.

Mbappe's camp, particularly mother and agent Fayza Lamari, basically want the World Cup-winning coach gone. They believe that there is a conspiracy in the media to make the Mbappe family look bad and they feel as though Deschamps' decisions have provided fuel for the fire.

The Real Madrid star, however, isn't the only one 'fed up' with Deschamps. Molina claims that there is a growing feeling among the France squad that it's time for the 56-year-old to go.

It is claimed that the players want change after 12 years under Deschamps and many view Zinedine Zidane as an ideal replacement.
