Ibrahima Konaté has been ruled out of France’s next four Nations League matches after sustaining a knee sprain in training.

The federation announced on Thursday morning that it is a slight injury to his right knee. He was hurt on Wednesday while working with the Bleus.

France face Türkiye on Friday at 20:45, then Belgium twice on 28 September and five October, and Italy on two October.

The former Liverpool defender had made a convincing start to the season with Real Madrid, but this setback halts his adaptation.

Zinédine Zidane has added the Mancunian Leny Yoro to the 23-player squad in Konaté’s place. The ex-Lille defender, 20, receives his first senior France call-up.
