Nov 11 : Kylian Mbappe will not feature in France's Nations League match against Italy on Thursday as he is not fully fit, coach Zinedine Zidane told reporters on Wednesday.

Mbappe missed France's last three matches after injuring his left knee while scoring the winner in their Nations League clash with Turkey on September 25.

L'Equipe reported that Mbappe was troubled by a hamstring problem and had missed Wednesday's training session with the national team.

"He will be out tomorrow. He felt a slight pain and, as usual, we won’t take any risks. Losing players is regrettable, but it’s part of the game. I hope it’s nothing serious and that we’ll have him back on Sunday," Zidane was quoted as saying by L'Equipe.
