France captain Kylian Mbappe is set to miss the national team’s Nations League encounter against Italy after suffering a hamstring problem.
The Real Madrid forward’s absence is a setback for France as they prepare for the Group A1 fixture, with the team seeking to strengthen their position at the top of the standings.
Mbappe recently returned to the France squad after missing the team’s previous three matches through injury.
The forward has enjoyed a productive season at club level, scoring 17 goals in all competitions for Real Madrid.
France will now have to navigate the fixture without their captain as they continue their Nations League campaign.
