New Delhi, June 3 (IANS) Real Madrid have blocked Kylian Mbappe from joining Thierry Henry’s France team for the 2024 Olympic Games despite repeated requests from French President Emmanuel Macron to Los Blancos chief Florentino Perez.
Former Arsenal legend and current U21 coach for France Henry has announced the 25-man provisional squad for the Olympics and the French star forward was not included in the list.
The team is headlined by Warren Zaire-Emery, Alexandre Lacazette, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Michael Olise and Mathys Tel.

Mbappe is expected to be announced as a Real Madrid player later on Monday and will be joining the club following the end of the 2024 European Championship.
According to reports, along with Mbappe Arsenal defender William Saliba was also not allowed to represent the team at the Olympics.
