Mbappe available for France’s Nations League clash with Turkey, says Zidane
Real Madrid forward Mbappe missed Thursday's defeat to Group A1 leaders Italy with a hamstring problem.
Kylian Mbappe, the Real Madrid forward, is set to play in France’s final Nations League group match against Turkey, according to coach Zinedine Zidane. Mbappe, who scored 17 goals this season, returned to the squad after missing the previous three matches due to a hamstring injury. Zidane expressed his delight at Mbappe’s return, stating that having him in the team is preferable to having him absent.
The former France captain, who won the World Cup in 1998 and the European Championship in 2000, denied any tension with the 19-year-old star and emphasized that their relationship is smooth. France currently leads Group A1 with 10 points, tied with Italy, and requires only a draw against Turkey in Bordeaux to advance to the quarter-finals.
