The French national football team will play Italy in Milan on Thursday evening in the Nations League without captain Kylian Mbappé. His absence was confirmed at the pre-match press conference by France coach Zinedine Zidane. The Real Madrid striker has a minor problem with his hamstring. teraz.sk ↗
Zidane stated that he does not want to risk worsening Mbappé's condition. The French captain will therefore miss the important match, which is decisive for qualification to the quarterfinals. The team will also take the field without several other key players, which increases the significance of the match against an ambitious Italy. Le Figaro ↗
The French coach also provided reassurance about Mbappé's condition and expressed confidence in his quick return. However, no further details about the extent of the injury or the exact timeline for his return were given. It also remains an open question whether he will start in France's next match, scheduled for Sunday. Tagesspiegel ↗
Italian coach Roberto Mancini reacted to Mbappé's absence with humor. Ahead of the match, he advised Zidane not to take any risks with the French forward and to keep in mind his club commitments in the Champions League. French defender Dayot Upamecano stated that the team is prepared for a tough match and has no fear of Italy. La Repubblica ↗
France will thus have to manage the clash in Milan without its most prominent offensive leader. The result could significantly affect its chances of advancing to the next stage of the Nations League.
