Sini Maïolo called up to France squad after Mbappe injury

France’s coaching staff, led by Zinedine Zidane, has called up young Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Sini Maïolo to strengthen the squad ahead of their final two UEFA Nations League group matches against Italy and Turkey.

The decision comes amid uncertainty over Kylian Mbappe’s participation due to a hamstring injury, with doubts remaining about his availability for the Italy clash.

France will face Italy on Thursday at San Siro, followed by a match against Turkey next Sunday in Bordeaux as part of the Nations League competition.
