After his rest against Italy, Kylian Mbappé should return to his central position next Sunday in Bordeaux.
The final stretch of the UEFA Nations League group stage is approaching, and Les Bleus are getting their captain back. Kylian Mbappé, who was rested for the match against Italy, is expected to start on Sunday, November 15 in Bordeaux against Turkey (8:45 PM), according to information reported by several sports media outlets.
This decision would mark only the second match for Mbappé under the leadership of Zinédine Zidane, recently appointed as head coach of the French national team. The all-time leading scorer for Les Bleus would thus return to his favorite position in the center of France's attack, temporarily abandoning his role on the left flank that he had occupied during his last appearance.
The match against Turkey is of capital importance for the French. It is the final group stage match, and the stakes are multiple. From a sporting perspective, a victory would allow Les Bleus to consolidate their position in the group standings, while a slip-up could compromise their ambitions in this competition.
On a personal level, this match also represents an opportunity for Mbappé to find his bearings alongside his new national team coach. The relationship between the player and Zidane continues to arouse the interest of observers, all the more so since the first steps of the Madrid-born coach at the helm of Les Bleus have not been straightforward.
French supporters hope to see Mbappé back at his best, as he remains decisive for France's chances in the upcoming international competitions.
