Once again, Kylian Mbappé is expected to miss out for France in their Nations League clash against Italy.

While his relationship with Zinédine Zidane is making headlines in the French press this Wednesday morning, Kylian Mbappé is a doubt for tomorrow’s match against Italy in the Nations League. The France squad are due to fly to Milan this Wednesday, but the Real Madrid forward did not take part in today’s training session.

Mbappé set to miss out

The FFF (French Football Federation) announced early this morning that France captain Kylian Mbappé had not taken part in the day’s training session, on the eve of the Nations League match against Italy. Having remained in treatment, the Real Madrid player is expected to miss the San Siro clash.

According to L’Équipe, Mbappé is feeling discomfort in his hamstrings and was therefore unable to train this morning. The forward is not expected to return to Madrid, however, as he is hoped to be available for next Sunday’s home match against Turkey in Bordeaux.
