  "account": "Kylian Mbappe suffered an injury during France's 1-0 victory over Turkey in the UEFA Nations League match, which overshadowed Zinedine Zidane's debut as France's head coach. Mancini's return to the Italian national team was marked by a 2-0 loss to Belgium, with his team conceding two goals in quick succession. Zidane, a former France legend, informed TF1 that Mbappe likely won't play in the remaining matches, leaving France without their all-time leading goal-scorer. Belgium exploited Italy's defensive lapse, scoring two goals in the first half. Meanwhile, other nations showcased varied performances in the tournament, with Northern Ireland, Ukraine, Poland, Sweden, Armenia, and Montenegro securing wins in their respective matches.",
  "summary": "Kylian Mbappe scored before coming off in a 1-0 win against Turkey, while Roberto Mancini's first game back in charge ended in a 2-0 defeat to Belgium.",
