The Real Madrid forward is nursing a "minor niggle", according to the 'Bleus' boss.

Kylian Mbappe "will not be able to play against Italy", Zidane announced on Wednesday evening in Milan on the eve of France's showdown with the 'Azzurri'.

The French tactician is refusing to take any risks with his captain, though he remains hopeful that he "can play on Sunday" against Turkey, as reported by the digital edition of 'L'Equipe'.

The Real Madrid talisman is managing a hamstring issue: "A minor discomfort, just a slight issue, he should be fine for Sunday," Zidane explained.
