Depay finds it unfair that the Blues are the only ones allowed to leave the EU during the international break.

Memphis Depay is a little angry (and we understand that).
While the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs agreed during the week to retain all of their non-European internationals and those who had to leave the continent during the international break, the France team has obtained an exemption to travel to Kazakhstan on March 28.
A form of injustice that does not appreciate the Lyon striker supposed to travel to Turkey with the Dutch selection as part of the qualifications for the 2022 World Cup.
He therefore took his phone to directly address Emmanuel Macron and the French government.
"French government, can I join the Dutch national team on Monday, please?"
It would be fair, since you make an exception for the France team, which also travels outside Europe to play matches !!!
He wrote on Twitter on Friday.
"It's not something very smart"
Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, Fifa has relaxed its rules for summoning players for this truce, allowing clubs to retain internationals who, if they were to play a meeting outside the EU, should respect a seven-day isolation period upon their return to French soil.
Except for the players of the France team, therefore, which seems complicated to accept for the other internationals.
"It's not something very smart," said the Dutch striker at a press conference on Friday.
If there are restrictions for one team and not for others, this may suggest cases of discrimination or racism.
All these decisions taken, perhaps a little too quickly, do not give a very good impression.
I hope it will work because otherwise it will be a problem ”.
For now, Depay has not received an answer to his questions.
