The head coach of the French national team, Zinedine Zidane, announced that the forward Kylian Mbappe will not be able to participate in the match of the fifth round of the UEFA Nations League against the Italian national team.
This meeting will be held on Thursday, November 12, at the "San Siro" stadium in Milan. The game is expected to start at 00:45 Monday time.
Zidane considered the reason for Mbappe's absence in this match to be a minor pain and emphasized that the coaching staff does not want to endanger the health of the football player.
"Kilian Mbappe cannot play tomorrow. He felt some pain. As in previous cases, we do not want to take any risks. Of course, such situations are unfortunate, but this is part of football. Hopefully he will be back for the game against Turkey on Sunday.
We have had similar situations before with Aurelien Tchuameni and Marcus Thuram. They didn't get a chance to participate in the second game either. In such situations, football players should rest at home and fully recover," said Zinedine Zidane, whose words were quoted by the official UEFA website.
Thus, the French national team will be without one of its main stars in the important match against Italy. Mbappe's future presence in the match against Turkey will depend on his recovery process.
