BARCELONA — Kylian Mbappe is poised to make his return to action for France in their upcoming match against Turkey on Tuesday, according to manager Zinedine Zidane.
The announcement came after France's loss to Italy on Thursday, with Zidane indicating that the forward's recovery is progressing as expected. Mbappe had been sidelined ahead of the Italian fixture, necessitating his absence from that encounter.
The French national team will be looking to bounce back from their defeat when they face Turkey in the international fixture. Mbappe's availability could provide a significant boost to their attacking options as they prepare for the contest.
France has experienced mixed fortunes in recent international matches, and the return of their talismanic forward is expected to strengthen their squad depth moving forward. The timing of Mbappe's comeback will be closely watched by observers of international football ahead of the Tuesday showdown.
