  "account": "Bordeaux: Kylian Mbappe is set to feature in France's concluding Nations League group match against Turkey, reported coach Zinedine Zidane on Saturday. With France aiming for a quarter-final spot, the Paris Saint-Germain forward missed Thursday's loss to Group A1 leaders Italy due to a hamstring issue. However, Zidane confirmed Mbappe's availability for the Sunday game, stating, \"He will be with us tomorrow.\" The 25-year-old, who has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, returned to the France squad for this international break after skipping the previous three matches due to injury. Zidane emphasized the significance of Mbappe's return, saying, \"I'd rather have him with us than not.\" The former World Cup winner and European champion, now 54, clarified that there are no tensions with Mbappe, asserting, \"It's nonsense and quite irritating.\" France currently sits second in Group A1 with 10 points, matching Italy, and requires only a draw against Turkey in Bordeaux to advance to the Nations League quarter-finals.",
