Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has been called up to Zinedine Zidane's France squad for the UEFA Nations League, after Real Madrid's Ibrahima Konaté dropped out due to a knee injury. It is Yoro's first senior international call-up at 20 years old. The French national team confirmed Konaté is now back with his club.

Yoro's selection comes despite recent criticism following Man United's Carabao Cup loss to Brighton, where they squandered a 2-0 lead. This is Zidane's first squad as head coach, and he has included several new faces such as Guillaume Restes, Andy Diouf, Jérémy Jacquet, Lucas Da Cunha, and Esteban Le Paul. Zidane emphasized his desire to see these players perform.

Star forward Kylian Mbappé missed training due to flu. France will face Türkiye on Friday, followed by Belgium, Italy, and another Belgium match in their Nations League fixtures.
