ESPN FC reports that Kylian Mbappé sat out France training on Wednesday, adding to concerns about his fitness before the match against Italy.
The same outlet claims he has a hamstring injury and will not feature against Italy. This has not been confirmed.
ESPN FC also reports that France coach Zinedine Zidane has given a first call-up to PSG forward Senny Mayulu.
WHY IT MATTERS
If Mbappé is absent, France would be without one of their main attacking options for the Italy match, and Mayulu's first call-up gives Zidane another forward to consider.
