French football coach Didier Deschamps has cast doubt on Kylian Mbappe’s chances of representing his country at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

During the press conference yesterday (March 14), Deschamps admitted about the possibility of Mbappe participating in the Olympics in France . The French coach said: “From a psychological and physical perspective, it is very difficult to participate.” two such tournaments one after another in the summer without any break.”

The French coach confirmed that several members of his squad for the European Championships are likely to also be part of the Olympics squad, which will be led by Thierry Henry.

Deschamps said Euro 2024 remains the top priority and the identities of the players participating in the Olympics will need to be known before the continental championship, which starts on June 14. Deschamps said: “We don’t wanted any interference in our preparations, so when we arrived at our training camp in Clairefontaine, it needed to be clear who was going and who wasn’t going.”

This can be understood that Mbappe, the captain of the French team, must know the future before participating in the most attractive tournament on the old continent. The European Championship in Germany doesn’t end until July 14 and the Olympic football tournament begins on July 24. So there are 10 full days for players if participating in both tournaments above.

There will be no time to rest, if France advances deep into the Euro. Men’s football at the Summer Olympics is for players under 23 years old, but three overage players can also participate, thereby creating conditions for other stars of the French team to participate.

However, world football’s governing body FIFA does not require clubs to release players for the Olympics, which could further complicate Mbappe’s situation. The striker has told PSG that he plans to leave when his contract expires at the end of this season and Real Madrid is expected to be his next destination.

His new club are unlikely to be thrilled at the prospect of Mbappe going to the Olympics. The White Vulture certainly wants Mbappe to have time to rest before the new season starts. The final of the Olympic tournament will take place on August 9.

French legend Henry is currently in charge of the national U21 team and will oversee the team at the Olympics. Henry accepts that Mbappe’s inclusion in the final squad does not depend on his decision.
