Press review: France scrape past Turkey, Mbappé injured | OneFootball

This Saturday, September 26, the French press (from a sporting perspective) had nothing directly related to Paris Saint-Germain, but there was mention of PSG players in the France national team (Désiré Doué, Maghnes Akliouche and Ousmane Dembélé). Les Bleus won 0-1 in Turkey last night in the Nations League. An encouraging first outing for head coach Zinedine Zidane, but with Kylian Mbappé picking up an injury.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

A win in Turkey should not be underestimated, as it is always a difficult trip in a heated atmosphere against a team with real quality. It also had to be kept in mind that everything could not be perfect right away. Time is needed to put a philosophy in place and build the right connections.

There were some interesting things, but naturally there is still work to do. It is good to start with a win, as it brings a bit of calm. Now, France must properly prepare for its match against Belgium on Monday. There is little time left before this high-level test, and nothing will be easy.

It will be without Mbappé, as his injury was the bad news of the evening. At least France has strong options to replace him.
