Mbappé Doubtful for Italy After Training Absence
France captain Kylian Mbappé (27) is expected to sit out the UEFA Nations League meeting with Italy tomorrow after experiencing discomfort in his hamstring.
The Real Madrid forward was not involved in first-team training before France’s afternoon flight to Milan. Earlier today it was reported that his absence came ahead of the squad’s trip for the away fixture against Italy, which is scheduled for Thursday.

Mbappé’s issue is not currently believed to be serious. Although he is likely to miss the game against Italy, there remains hope that he could still feature during this international camp, with a possible return for the Nations League match against Turkiye on Sunday.
France Injury List Grows During International Break
Mbappé has become France’s fourth injury concern of this international break. Aurélien Tchouaméni, Pierre Kalulu, and Marcus Thuram have all already withdrawn from the squad.
Tchouaméni, Mbappé’s Real Madrid team-mate, has left the France camp. Mbappé was also forced to withdraw early from the previous international camp, which was Zinédine Zidane’s first as manager of Les Bleus.
Mayulu Earns First Senior Call-Up
PSG’s versatile midfielder Senny Mayulu (20) has been called into the senior France squad for the first time, as announced by the French FA.
Mayulu was already at Clairefontaine because France U21 manager Gérald Baticle had selected him for the U21 group. He will now join Zidane’s senior squad amid the injury disruption affecting Les Bleus.
The PSG youngster is the fourth player to receive a first senior France call-up from Zinédine Zidane during this international break. He follows Paris FC winger Pablo Pagis, Wolfsburg right-back Saël Kumbedi, and Bournemouth centre-forward Eli Junior Kroupi.
Nations League Schedule and Venue Details
France’s next assignment is Matchday 5 of the UEFA Nations League, an away game against Italy. Les Bleus will face Roberto Mancini’s Azzurri at San Siro.
After the trip to Milan, France will host Türkiye in Bordeaux on Sunday. That fixture is also the match for which there is hope Mbappé may be able to return if his hamstring discomfort settles sufficiently.
