Kylian Mbappe did not train with France on Wednesday because he was receiving medical treatment, according to Tori News. The France coaching staff have not yet said what the problem is, so the nature of the issue remains unclear.
Fresh concern after injury lay-off
The Real Madrid forward has only recently returned to the France squad after sitting out the previous three matches with injury. Tori News reports that he left a Nations League tie against Turkey in September soon after scoring the winning goal, because of pain in his left knee. The source does not say whether Wednesday's treatment is connected to that knee problem.
What is at stake for France
France have won three and drawn one of their four games and sit at the top of Group A1. They play Italy in Milan on Thursday, then host Turkey in Bordeaux on Sunday. Tori News says they are on course for the quarter-finals.
Whether Mbappe will be available for the Italy game has not been stated in the report, and no official update from the France camp is included.
