Zinédine Zidane has confirmed that Kylian Mbappé (27) will play no part in France’s match against Italy in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday, however, the manager believes that his captain will be fit to return against Turkiye on Sunday.
L’Équipe reported yesterday that the Real Madrid forward was absent from first-team training ahead of the afternoon flight to Milan. He is France’s fourth injury concern of this international break. Aurélien Tchouaméni, Pierre Kalulu, and Marcus Thuram have all already withdrawn from the side.
The Real Madrid forward was also forced to withdraw early from the last international camp, Zinédine Zidane’s first as manager of Les Bleus and he has now not made the trip to Northern Italy. L’Équipe reported that the issue concerned Mbappé’s hamstring. Zidane has confirmed “small discomfort”, but did not reveal the exact nature of the injury. He did, however, confirm that it would rule him out of tonight’s game. Zizou added, “He should be find for Sunday.”
