Furious Antoine Griezmann Considering Retiring From France Duty After Kylian Mbappe Is Given Captaincy Ahead Of Him

Antoine Griezmann is reportedly mulling over his international future with France after seeing captaincy duty passed to Kylian Mbappe.

alismanic Paris Saint-Germain forward Mbappe has inherited the armband with Les Bleus following the retirement of World Cup-winning goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Didier Deschamps is said to have given careful consideration to the many options available to him before settling on the 24-year-old frontman, with the head coach confirming his decision in an interview on Tuesday.

That decision is said to have annoyed long-serving Griezmann, who has been named France’s new vice-captain.

Le Figaro claims that he is now considering ruling himself out of contention for future call-ups. The 32-year-old Atletico Madrid star has earned 117 caps for his country since making a senior debut back in 2014.
