Injured Konate replaced by Yoro in France squad
Manchester United's Leny Yoro comes into the squad after Ibrahima Konate suffers a slight right knee sprain.
Ibrahima Konate sustained a knee injury during France's training session and underwent an MRI scan. Following the scan, France announced on Thursday that Konate will miss the upcoming Nations League matches and will be replaced by Manchester United's Leny Yoro in the squad led by Zinedine Zidane. Konate, who plays for Real Madrid, suffered a slight sprain to his right knee during the session.
This marks the third player to be replaced from the France team since the start of the international break, joining goalkeeper Robin Risser and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery. To fill the void left by Konate, Zidane called up 20-year-old uncapped Yoro, who is set to make his international debut. Zidane will lead his team out for their first match against Turkey on Friday, followed by games against Belgium and Italy.
