Kylian Mbappé, declared unavailable the day before by Zinedine Zidane, should finally appear on the team sheet for the Nations League match between Italy and France this Thursday at San Siro. The information comes from Sky Sport journalist Peppe Di Stefano.

On Wednesday, the French manager had officially confirmed his captain’s absence due to a hamstring problem, even calling up Senny Mayulu as a replacement. A turnaround all the more unexpected as the Real Madrid striker’s return to competition was initially scheduled for the next match, against Turkey on Sunday in Bordeaux.

According to the same source, Mbappé should nevertheless start on the bench. A brief appearance off the bench is not ruled out, suggesting that the medical staff has deemed his condition sufficiently satisfactory to consider limited participation.
