  "summary": "France coach Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that Kylian Mbappe is available for the team's Nations League group fixture against Turkey in Bordeaux. According to Free Malaysia Today, Mbappe missed Thursday's defeat to Italy due to a hamstring problem, but he will be available for Sunday's match. The Real Madrid forward has scored 17 goals for his club this season and returned to the squad for this international break after missing France's previous three matches through injury.\n\nFrance currently sits second in Group A1, level on 10 points with Italy. The team requires a draw against Turkey to secure qualification for the Nations League quarter-finals. Zidane described the striker's return as a significant development, stating that his relationship with Mbappe is going perfectly and dismissing rumors of tension as nonsense.",
