Manu Koné left out of France squad over muscle injury
Zidane has not included him for the Nations League games against Italy and Turkey; Roma will decide tomorrow whether he faces Sassuolo.
Zinedine Zidane has left Manu Koné out of the France squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Italy and Turkey. The AS Roma midfielder has been sidelined since October 14, when a first-degree injury to his right hamstring forced him off after just fifteen minutes of the 4-3 defeat to Real Madrid.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the player is feeling better, and Gasperini will assess tomorrow whether he can return to the matchday squad against Sassuolo. His absence from France, however, is already confirmed.
As we reported, Koné's recovery is moving forward, but for the national team the news is a setback.
