Antoine Griezmann feels 'upset and hurt' after being snubbed for the France captaincy in favour of Kylian Mbappe, it's claimed.
Les Blues boss Didier Deschamps has officially chosen Mbappe, aged just 24, to replace Hugo Lloris in wearing the armband after the Tottenham goalkeeper announced his international retirement following their World Cup final defeat to Argentina.
Griezmann had been tipped to succeed Lloris in the role, having played 73 consecutive games for France, making up the bulk of his 117 international appearances. But the Atletico Madrid forward has missed out on the prestigious honour to Mbappe, whose appointment was confirmed on Tuesday ahead of Les Blues' opening Euro 2024 qualifying match at home to the Netherlands.
