Kylian Mbappé left out of the squad for Italy

Kylian Mbappé will not play against Italy this Thursday evening, according to Zinédine Zidane. The coach indicated that he would take "zero risk" with the Real Madrid player, who is suffering from muscle discomfort.

Cyril Hanouna, on his show on W9, claims to have information that Mbappé is not motivated to play. According to him, the forward is not in shape and has decided to stay out of the important match because he prefers to rest.

"Things are really heating up with Kylian Mbappé in the France team group," declared Hanouna. He added that relations between Mbappé and Zidane are tense, pointing out that there are also issues with his teammates.

A Sky Sport journalist, however, suggests that Mbappé could come on as a substitute against Italy next Sunday.

Disagreements over motivation

According to Hanouna, Zinédine Zidane did not take Mbappé's decision not to play this Thursday evening well.
