Kylian Mbappe will be sidelined for France's UEFA Nations League clash with Italy because of a hamstring issue, with France set to face Turkey in Bordeaux on Sunday in their final group match.

Coach Zinedine Zidane revised his offensive game plan following the injury and handed a maiden call-up to PSG youngster Senny Mayulu, who joins Eli Junior Kroupi in the squad.

The newcomers aim to help France maintain their top position in the group and secure a spot in the next round with a win.
