  "account": "France coach Zinedine Zidane has announced changes for Monday's Nations League match against Belgium after captain Kylian Mbappe was injured. Mbappe scored the winning goal in Friday's 1-0 victory over Turkey but had to be substituted. Zidane revealed that alterations will be made, but the extent remains unknown until the next day. The French team will play four matches in a brief period, including a game in Brussels against Belgium. Zidane emphasized the importance of getting to know his players, given the limited training time. Belgium might start without Leandro Trossard, who is recovering from a heel injury, with Mika Godts potentially taking his place.",
