Published on October 9, 2019, French football federation officials announced that Kylian Mbappe, a key player for France, would be unable to participate in the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Iceland and Turkey.
The decision was made due to a recurring thigh problem that Mbappe has been struggling with. To replace him, the French team has selected Alassane Plea, a forward for Borussia Moenchengladbach.
France's next matches are against Iceland in Group H on Friday and against Turkey at the Stade de France on Monday. The world champions are currently second in Group H with 15 points, behind Turkey, and ahead of Iceland with 12 points.
With this latest development, France's chances in the Euro 2020 qualifiers have been impacted, and fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of their next matches.
