France: what time and channel for Zidane's second squad announcement?

Summarised by MatchPal
Zidane announces France squad Friday at 6pm for Nations League matches against Italy and Turkey; Mbappé returns after injury.
Zinédine Zidane will unveil his second France squad as manager on Friday, November 8 at 6pm at the French Football Federation headquarters. The squad will be for two crucial Nations League group-stage matches: away to Italy on November 12 and home to Turkey at Bordeaux on November 15.
After a successful opening window with three wins and a draw, France are on the brink of qualifying for the Nations League quarter-finals. A victory in Milan—or a draw if Belgium fail to beat Turkey simultaneously—will secure their progression before the final group game.
Zidane will have to manage several defensive absences, including Dayot Upamecano's suspension for the Italy match, but has depth to work with. Kylian Mbappé returns after injury sustained in the previous window. The manager is expected to make adjustments in midfield and will have multiple attacking options. The squad announcement and press conference will be streamed on the French Football Federation's YouTube channel and RMC Sport.
