Real Madrid star to miss next international fixture
Nov 11 2026 22:48 · By onefootball.com · 47 Reads
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé will play no part in France’s high-profile upcoming meeting with European rivals Italy. This comes amid confirmation of the frontman dealing with a fitness complaint.
Frontman Mbappé is for his part fresh off keeping alive a fine stretch of individual form this past weekend, in finding the net en route to Real Madrid’s La Liga victory over Valencia.
The 27-year-old, in turn, went on to link up with his international teammates on Monday, ahead of an upcoming Nations League double-header against Italy and Türkiye.
As alluded to above, however, in the former, Zinedine Zidane will be forced to make do without his star goalscorer.
Speaking during an appearance in front of the media on Wednesday, France’s headmaster was asked for the latest personnel news in his squad. And Zidane went on to reveal:
“Mbappé will not play tomorrow against Italy. He has felt some minor pain. We are not going to take any risks with Mbappé. I hope he will be able to play on Sunday against Türkiye.”
