Kylian Mbappé absent from France training

Kylian Mbappé (27) is absent from France’s training session today, as per a report from L’Équipe. Les Bleus fly to Milan this afternoon ahead of tomorrow’s game against Italy in the UEFA Nations League.

Three players have already been forced to withdraw from Zinédine Zidane’s squad. Marcus Thuram, Pierre Kalulu, and Aurélien Tchouaméni were all called up but later forced to withdraw. The former two have been replaced, with Sael Kumbedi and Eli Junior Kroupi both integrating the set-up. Tchouaméni, however, will not be replaced, the FFF have confirmed.

France’s captain is now a doubt to face Italy. Mbappé missed Wednesday’s training session at Clairefontaine. This afternoon, the squad will head to Northern Italy. The Real Madrid forward was also forced to withdraw early from the last international camp, Zidane’s first as manager of Les Bleus.

France will also play Turkiye, also in the Nations League, during this current international break.
