Mbappé, sidelined by hamstring discomfort, likely out vs Italy

France captain Kylian Mbappé, of Real Madrid, has discomfort in his hamstrings and, according to L'Équipe, is unlikely to be able to play against Italy on Thursday at 20:45. He is hoped to be available for the match against Turkey on Sunday.

Until now the French federation had ruled out an injury and spoke of an individual training plan for the forward, who had not been training with the group. The new piece of information is the hamstring discomfort, which now appears as the main concern for Thursday. His final availability will depend on how he responds over the coming days.
