Kylian Mbappé, captain of the France football team, has reportedly had a new disagreement with Zinédine Zidane, the France coach, before the Nations League match against Italy, according to reports by L’Équipe and Spanish journalist Alberto Pereiro.
L’Équipe links the tensions to Zinédine Zidane’s decision to move Mbappé to the left wing during the September international break, a decision the striker reportedly interpreted as a demotion. Alberto Pereiro, for his part, says that Mbappé did not take part in Wednesday’s training session and was being treated by physiotherapists before the France team travelled to Italy.
