Reports say Mbappé may miss Italy, putting Zidane’s test at risk.

Zidane had set up Italy and Turkey as chances to try Mbappé through the middle. That first test is now shaky: French reports say Mbappé has hamstring discomfort, missed Wednesday’s final team training and received treatment. Canal+ reports he will miss Italy, though France’s federation gave no diagnosis in its call-up announcement. His availability for Turkey remains unsettled. France also called Senny Mayulu up from the under-21s after Aurélien Tchouaméni left camp injured. Reports describe Mayulu as a possible extra attacking option if Mbappé is out, not a confirmed one-for-one replacement.
