Kylian Mbappe will miss France’s second training session on Tuesday, leaving Zinedine Zidane without his captain due to flu-like symptoms.
According to ‘L’Equipe’, the Real Madrid forward will sit out as a precautionary measure. Flu-like symptoms have forced the talisman to step aside ahead of their UEFA Nations League encounter against Turkey.
The development marks an early blow for Zinedine Zidane since taking the reins of France. The head coach had cut a relaxed figure, working closely alongside his squad during his first training session on Monday afternoon at Clairefontaine.
This latest setback compounds a frustrating spell for Kylian Mbappe. Following an underwhelming display in the derby against Atletico Madrid, his body has now forced him into a temporary pause. All this unfolds alongside his signing with On and his relentless pursuit of the Ballon d’Or on 26 October.
