Zidane decides not to call up a replacement for Mbappé with France
Didier Deschamps, the head coach of France, has decided not to call up any player to replace Kylian Mbappé, the Real Madrid forward, after he suffered an injury that will keep him out of the next three matches in the UEFA Nations League.
According to the EFE agency, citing the French Football Federation, Zinedine Zidane will keep the rest of the France squad unchanged in preparation for their match against Belgium on Monday, followed by Italy on Friday, October 2, before facing Belgium again on October 5.
Kylian Mbappé had suffered an injury after scoring the winning goal for France against Turkey in Zinedine Zidane's first match with the French national team. The captain of Les Bleus left the national team camp on Saturday heading to Madrid, where he will undergo medical examinations under the supervision of the medical staff of Real Madrid, following communication between the medical teams of the club and the national team.
Zinedine Zidane has explained that Kylian Mbappé is suffering from an injury to his right knee tendon, describing the matter as a minor issue. However, he preferred not to take any risks with the player, meaning he will miss France's next three matches in the UEFA Nations League.
