France coach Deschamps addresses Mbappe partying controversy

France fans have criticized Mbappe for spending time in Sweden when it was previously claimed that he was using his time off to recover from a thigh injury.

But Deschamps said today: "A night out... I don't follow the news of the players who are not here. Kylian is in a calculated program with his club, I don't know if he was off or not. I manage those who are here. He sent me a message before the match, but he may have days off with his club.

"The schedule is the same for everyone. His schedule, that's how Real Madrid decided. Like all international players, he doesn't have double sessions every day, so he may have had the freedom to go where he wanted."
