Kylian Mbappe is ready to play in France’s last Nations League group match against Turkey. Coach Zinedine Zidane shared this on Saturday as Les Bleus aim for a spot in the quarter-finals.
Mbappe, who plays for Real Madrid, missed Thursday’s loss to Italy because of a hamstring issue. But Zidane confirmed, “He will be with us tomorrow (Sunday).”
This season, Mbappe has scored 17 goals in all competitions for his club. He returned to the France squad for this international break after missing the last three games due to injuries.
Zidane said Mbappe’s comeback “changes everything.” He added, “I’d rather have him with us than not.”
The 54-year-old coach won the World Cup with France in 1998 and the European Championship in 2000. He denied any issues with Mbappe and said their relationship is “going perfectly.”
“I can’t stop people saying what they’re saying, but it’s nonsense and quite irritating,” Zidane remarked.
France is currently second in Group A1, with 10 points, the same as Italy. They only need a draw against Turkey in Bordeaux to qualify for the Nations League quarter-finals.
