France coach Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that Kylian Mbappe could play in the team’s UEFA Nations League match against Türkiye in the sixth round. The Real Madrid forward will be in France’s squad for the match.
France and Türkiye will meet in Group A1 on Nov. 15. Kick-off is scheduled for 11:45 p.m. Baku time.
Zidane denied rumors of a conflict between him and Mbappe. He said the player’s presence in the team changes everything and that their relationship is a professional one between a coach and a player.
“We have no problem with each other; everything is going well. I can’t stop people from saying what they want, but it is nonsense. It is very regrettable and irritates me a lot,” Marca quoted Zidane as saying.
