"Not happy, but we can't take risks" – Zidane revealed, Mbappé will not play in the showdown

Kylian Mbappé will not play for the French national team against Italy due to a minor thigh injury, as confirmed by coach Zinédine Zidane. Zidane expressed hope that Mbappé's condition is not serious and that he could return for the next match. Mbappé did not train with the team but traveled to Italy, which Zidane sees as a positive sign. Italian coach Roberto Mancini advised Zidane not to risk Mbappé's health for the upcoming Champions League. Mbappé is France's top scorer with 67 goals in 107 matches. Senny Mayulu has been called up to replace him. France leads their group in League A with three wins and one draw, facing Turkey next.
