Ammon News - 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.

France will ​again ⁠face Turkey on Sunday.

Paris St Germain midfielder Mayulu received his first senior ⁠France ​call-up as a replacement ​for injured midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.
