France boss Didier Deschamps has a lot on his plate right now. He’s struck at a crossroads, deciding between success for the national side or angering PSG. The Parisians are currently gearing up for a crucial fixture against AS Monaco in Ligue 1 and will want all hands on deck for the critical clash.

However, the team is missing out on some big names owing to an injury and will want Kylian Mbappe in his best shape for the fixture. PSG’s desires have left Deschamps with little to no choice, as the French national boss will have to find a way to get his job done while keeping the Parisians happy simultaneously. Bringing out the best in Mbappe looks crucial, but Deschamps is ready to lay the cards on the table.

France has a gigantic game on Tuesday as the side is set to face their nemesis from the 2004 Euros, Greece. While Didier Deschamps has already secured their place in their major tournament, the team would love to consolidate their place in the top five positions.

While Deschamps would love to play Mbappe for the crucial fixture, PSG also needs the player at the top of his game against Monaco this Friday. The situation has put Deschamps in a dilemma. If Mbappe suffers a knock during the game, they will scrutinize the French boss for putting his star player in a terrible situation despite securing qualification. Deschamps has considered all the factors and is reportedly looking to tweak Mbappe’s game time.

While the Parisians are at the top of the table with 27 points, a defeat against Monaco will see them drop to second place. Similarly, France would love to win their game against Greece in their final Euro Qualifiers to finish in the top five.
