With L’Équipe reporting on Wednesday morning (11/11) that Kylian Mbappé did not train with his teammates on the French national team, one day before the match against Italy (November 12, 9:45 p.m.), the French outlet revealed shortly afterward the reason for his absence.
As noted, the 27-year-old was sidelined due to a minor strain he sustained, which will prevent him from playing in the crucial match against the “Squadra Azzurra” in Milan.

However, the report notes that the injury is not serious and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mbappé will play as scheduled in the home game against Turkey (Nov. 15, 9:45 p.m.) on the final matchday of the Nations League.
And all of this, while in France, numerous reports suggest that the start of Mbappé’s relationship with Zidane on the French national team has been fraught with problems, with the reasons stemming both from their communication, as well as “Zizou’s” decision to deploy the Real Madrid star on the left wing—rather than at the top of the attack—in the match against Turkey in September.
