France\u2019s captain Kylian Mbappe will miss his country\u2019s Nations League match against Italy with a hamstring problem, coach Zinedine Zidane said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n

Les Bleus take on Roberto Mancini\u2019s Italy in Milan on Thursday as they bid to strengthen their grip on top spot in Group A1, before facing Turkey in Bordeaux on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will miss tomorrow, he felt a little pain and we won\u2019t take any risk,\u201d said Zidane.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a shame to lose players but it\u2019s part of the game. I hope that it\u2019s nothing too serious and that he\u2019ll be available for Sunday\u2026 It\u2019s just a minor issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Real Madrid forward is back in the France squad for this camp after missing their last three matches through injury.<\/p>\n

He has already netted 17 goals in all competitions for his club this season.<\/p>\n

Mbappe scored the winning goal in Zidane\u2019s first match as coach, against Turkey in September in the Nations League, but had to leave the pitch shortly afterwards due to pain in his left knee.<\/p>\n

After three wins and a draw in four group games, victory over Italy would see France qualify for the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
