Zidane reveals list of players for France’s November international break

Zinédine Zidane has named a 23-player France squad for November’s Nations League matches, his second selection since taking charge. Kylian Mbappé returns after a knee injury kept him out of the previous international window, while Pablo Pagis receives his first senior call-up.

France face Italy in Milan on 12 November and Türkiye in Bordeaux three days later. They lead Group A1 with 10 points from four matches, three ahead of Italy; the top two teams qualify for the quarter-finals. Several players, including Ousmane Dembélé, William Saliba and Manu Koné, are absent through injury, while Aurélien Tchouaméni, Ibrahima Konaté, Malo Gusto and Marcus Thuram return.
