Mbappé misses the duel against Italy due to “slight muscle discomfort”

Kylian Mbappé will not play tomorrow's match between Italy and France, corresponding to the fifth day of the Nations League, as announced by the French coach, Zinedine Zidane, at the press conference this Wednesday. The Real Madrid forward suffers muscle discomfort in his hamstrings that prevented him from training today.

“It's a slight annoyance, he should play on Sunday against Turkey,” declared the French coach, who hopes to have the Real Madrid star for the last international match of the year and the group stage of the Nations League.

The French team has had some casualties during the last international window of the year, such as that of Aurélien Tchouameni, who retired from the team after suffering discomfort in the adductor of his right thigh and returned to Real Madrid, his club. In his place, Zidane called up Senny Mayulu, PSG midfielder.

Zidane also wanted to refer to the attitude that Mbappé has shown in the concentration. "I see him well. The proof is that he is with us. We don't have to take risks, the season is long," he said when justifying his absence for tomorrow's clash.
