This decision has raised plenty of questions, especially since the player cited family reasons to justify his absence.

Some critics have gone so far as to suggest that this snub is due to Wan-Bissaka's desire to represent the England national team, particularly after a stellar 2024-2025 season with his club West Ham.

In any case, this no-show was not appreciated by the “Leopards” head coach Sébastien Desabre, who now seems more hesitant than ever to call him up for the next international break.
