Mbappe among stars missing from Nations League while teams eye WC berths - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

France captain Kylian Mbapp opted to stay away, his probable deputy Antoine Griezmann retired from the national team, and Romelu Lukaku asked to work on his fitness at new club Napoli rather than join the Belgium camp.

Add a wave of injury call-offs in Germany and elsewhere some of them serious, for Spain defender Dani Carvajal and German goalkeeper Marc-Andr ter Stegen and the Nations League will open an international door for newcomers.

In a congested soccer season where elite players have aired the idea of going on strike, the Nations League returns this week looking less than a top priority.
