Nations League: Zidane Confirms Mbappe's Exit from France Camp

French national team coach, Zinedine Zidane, has disclosed that Kylian Mbappe has left the squad's training camp due to an injury sustained during their recent Nations League match against Turkey.

Mbappe, who plays for Real Madrid, suffered a tendon injury after scoring a crucial goal in France's 1-0 victory over Turkey. The young striker, who has netted 67 goals for Les Bleus, was seen grimacing on the field after the injury occurred while rubbing his left knee after scoring.

"It's not good. It's not good, unfortunately," Zidane said in a statement to French television.

"We will not take any risks with him. He has stretched his knee while taking the shot. It's not very encouraging," the coach added.

Despite Mbappe briefly returning to the field after receiving medical treatment, he had to be substituted again due to the injury.
