Mbappe absent from training
France, led by Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane, are due to face Italy in over 24 hours, but leading up to the big game, they are now sweating over the availability of Mbappe.
The 27-year-old forward, who is also the captain of the national team, managed only one appearance for Les Bleus during the previous international break, as he suffered an injury in Zidane’s debut match against Turkiye.

“He is currently receiving treatment (from medical/physio services). If necessary, we will provide more information later.”
Concern for Real Madrid
Naturally, the situation is bound to raise concern at Real Madrid, considering that they have already lost Tchouameni to an injury even before a match is played during the ongoing international break.

So far, the 27-year-old megastar, who finished second in the 2026 Ballon d’Or race, has registered 17 goals and three assists from 16 games across all competitions.
With the La Liga title race shaping up to be a very tight one, Real Madrid will not want to be without their top goalscorer, especially with an important stretch of games coming up right after the international break.
For now, more updates regarding Mbappe and his fitness will be awaited and it remains to be seen if he is available to play for France against Italy tomorrow or is released from the national team camp.
