France: follow Zidane's squad announcement for Italy and Turkey Nations League matches

Zidane announces his second France squad Friday at 6pm for Nations League matches against Italy (Nov 12) and Turkey (Nov 15), with returns expected from injured players including Mbappé and Tchouaméni.

Zinédine Zidane will unveil his second France squad on Friday at 6pm for the Nations League fixtures against Italy on November 12 and Turkey on November 15. The squad announcement comes after a successful first camp under Zidane, which yielded three wins and a draw.

France need just one point to secure qualification for the Nations League quarter-finals, which they could clinch in Italy or at home in Bordeaux. Several key players are expected to return after injury, including Kylian Mbappé, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Ibrahima Konaté. However, the squad will be without some players due to fitness concerns, including Ousmane Dembélé, William Saliba, Manu Koné, Jules Koundé, and Maxence Lacroix.

Zidane is expected to largely maintain the core of his first squad while making adjustments in attack, midfield, and defence to account for injuries and form.
