Kylian Mbappé is available for France’s Nations League group match against Turkey on Sunday after missing Thursday’s 3-1 defeat by Italy with hamstring tightness, coach Zinédine Zidane said. A draw would be enough for France to reach the quarter-finals.
“He’s back,” Zidane said at a press conference in Bordeaux. “I’d rather have him than not.”
The 27-year-old Real Madrid striker has scored 67 goals in 107 appearances for France, according to the report. He missed the Italy match because of what the report described as excessive tension in his hamstrings.
Zidane also dismissed media reports of a poor relationship between himself and Mbappé, calling them “nonsense” and saying they were unpleasant.
