The 25-year-old will not feature for Les Bleus in their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Israel and Belgium.
Despite his role as captain, Mbappe has been left out following discussions with Deschamps regarding his fitness after he recently recovered from a knock.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup-winning manager said he would allow the forward time to rest, but eyebrows were raised when Mbappe started in Real's 2-0 win over Villarreal in LALIGA on the weekend.
Amid concerns from French supporters, Deschamps has been forced to publicly defend the former Paris Saint-Germain No. 7 for not joining up with his side this month, with a teammate of his having now followed suit.
Speaking this week, Liverpool and France centre-back Ibrahima Konate expressed his sympathy and support for Mbappe.
"Sometimes I put myself in his shoes, and if I had all this hype around me, I don't know if I would have held on," he said in a press conference, according to Goal.
"He managed to do it and he continues to do it. He may have a psychological breakdown in his life, I have no idea, but I would like to discuss it with him.
"But you have to put yourself in his shoes. Everything that revolves around him is... He has no life! He has no life! And it must be hard for him."
