Injured on Friday evening after scoring against Turkey, Kylian Mbappé will not be replaced in coach Zinédine Zidane's squad.

Kylian Mbappé has already left the France camp after suffering a left-knee injury on Friday against Turkey (1-0). The Real Madrid winger will not give another player the opportunity to join the France squad for the next three matches against Belgium and Italy in the Nations League.

The former Paris Saint-Germain player "will not be replaced in the France squad for the remainder of the camp," the French Football Federation said in a statement on Saturday. As a reminder, France coach Zinédine Zidane can call on Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Esteban Lepaul and Rayan Cherki, who was deployed as a central midfielder yesterday, to form his attacking trio.
