Decision made! France's biggest star ruled out of Italy showdown
France have suffered a major setback just before their crucial trip to Milan.
Details: According to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, France captain Kylian Mbappé will miss the upcoming UEFA Nations League match against Italy. The decision has been made, leaving Zinédine Zidane without one of his most important players for Thursday's encounter at San Siro on November 12.
The Real Madrid superstar missed Wednesday's training session with the national team. According to L'Équipe, the 27-year-old forward is experiencing discomfort in his hamstring, which has prevented him from preparing normally for the match.
The situation is particularly frustrating for Mbappé, who had only recently returned to the French squad after missing three consecutive international matches through injury.
Meanwhile, Zidane has already called up Paris Saint-Germain youngster Senny Mayulu from the under-21 squad as additional attacking cover. The French coaching staff hope Mbappé could recover in time for Sunday's home fixture against Türkiye, although his participation remains uncertain.
It's worth noting that France currently lead Nations League Group A1 with 10 points from four matches. A draw against Italy would be enough to secure their place in the quarter-finals.
