Kylian Mbappé's recent reduction in playing time with Paris Saint-Germain could serve as a boon for the France national team, according to manager Didier Deschamps. With Mbappé informing PSG of his impending departure as a free agent, his limited minutes on the pitch since February 14, including three full matches, may help keep him fresh for the upcoming European Championship and Olympic Games.
Deschamps emphasized the importance of physical freshness for major competitions, acknowledging that players typically experience fatigue towards the end of the season. Mbappé's reduced workload could potentially mitigate this fatigue, providing him with an opportunity to arrive at the end of the season in optimal condition for international duty.
However, a potential move to Real Madrid during the summer transfer window might affect Mbappé's participation in the Paris Olympics, a dream he harbors. Despite France under-23 coach Thierry Henry's request to release players for the Games being turned down by Madrid, Deschamps expressed disappointment with the club's stance, emphasizing that decisions regarding player availability ultimately rest with club officials, particularly if not aligned with official FIFA dates.
