Kylian Mbappé was left out of France's provisional squad for the Paris Olympics though coach Thierry Henry says the list "can evolve." The World Cup winner has joined Real Madrid after leaving Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent. He had stated his desire to play at the Games in his home nation but was not included in Henry's initial 25-man list. Unlike most international tournaments like the World Cup, European Championship and Copa America, clubs are not required to let their players compete at men's Olympic tournaments.
