Kylian Mbappe has seemingly defied Real Madrid's plea not to play for France in the upcoming international break.
The French forward did not have much rest before Los Blancos' opening game of the season in the UEFA Super Cup, where he ended up scoring.
However, the World Cup winner has struggled in his opening three LALIGA, falling to register a goal or an assist so far.

There were reports that Los Blancos did not want Mbappe to join up with France for the international break this week, but coach Didier Deschamps claims the player is more than ready.
"I don't know where you got this information from. I spoke with Kylian. What I can say is that there is always this problem of the calendar, a new format of the Champions League, especially after a big competition," Deschamps said, as per Goal.
"There has not really been any preparation. The season is going to be very very long with a time slot at the beginning of June and the Club World Cup. The coaches are going to have to manage the players.
"He has only played three games in a new club with different players. There are automatisms to find. I found him in good shape with juice.
"After that he has always scored goals, he is there and it is his choice. He has everything to make it go well and even very very well."
