France captain Kylian Mbappé is ruled out of his team’s Nations League match against Italy after a hamstring problem, with coach Zinedine Zidane saying France will not take risks. Multiple outlets report the injury is being managed and that Mbappé could be available for a later fixture.
Several reports add that Mbappé misses training sessions ahead of the Italy game and remains under treatment. One outlet also cites that L’Equipe reports the hamstring issue, notes the match is in Milan, and suggests Mbappé could potentially return for the next France game against Turkiye.
While outlets largely agree on the hamstring-related absence and Zidane’s cautious approach, they differ in emphasis. Some lead with the certainty of his absence, others foreground training misses or the potential for him to return later.
