Camavinga has made 29 appearances for France since Didier Deschamps gave him his debut in 2020, most recently coming off the bench in a 2-0 friendly win over Colombia in March.
In a press conference after the announcement of his 2026 World Cup squad, Deschamps explained his decision to leave Camavinga out.
“His season, of course,” said Deschamps, who has won the World Cup as a player and a manager.
“A few injuries as well. And the competition, which is very, very tough. I’m not questioning his potential or what he’s capable of.
“But he’s entitled to be angry with me, I understand that.”
Camavinga, who has won two Champions League titles with Real Madrid, made 43 appearances as they finished with a trophy for the second successive season.
Club-mates Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni will represent France at the World Cup, where they face Senegal in their first match on Tuesday 16 June.
