France coach Didier Deschamps talked about Real Madrid keeping two star players away from national team training. The Spanish club wants Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouameni to rest longer before joining France camp. Real Madrid refuses to release the duo early for international duty. Deschamps must wait until Monday afternoon for both players to arrive. The French team started their preparation camp on Friday without the Real Madrid stars.

FIFA rules allow clubs to hold players until Monday at the latest. Both French internationals wanted to report for duty on Friday with their teammates. Real Madrid chose to follow official regulations rather than release players early. The club decided extra rest time benefits their valuable assets more than early international training. Deschamps respects the Spanish team decision even though he prefers having all players together sooner.

Team captain Mbappé pushed hard to join France immediately after the club season ended. The superstar forward feels responsible for leading his national teammates during important matches ahead. Real Madrid blocked his request and forced him to wait for the official deadline. Deschamps understands the awkward situation between player desires and club demands. He refuses to create problems between Mbappé and his employer over early arrival dates.
