Dayot Upamecano (28) has left the France camp following Thursday night’s UEFA Nations League defeat to Italy (3-1) at the San Siro, the FFF confirmed on Friday morning.
Upamecano started in Les Bleus’ loss to Italy, the first of the Zinédine Zidane era. The France manager also approached this game without William Saliba, who is not yet ready to return to the fold.

Against Turkiye on Sunday, Zidane will also have to do without Upamecano, who has left the camp for personal reasons and returned to Munich. Liverpool’s Jérémy Jacquet also started on Thursday night in Milan, and he could continue against Turkiye, albeit alongside a new centre-back partner.
It is Ibrahima Konaté who may get the chance to impress his new manager in Bordeaux on Sunday. The Real Madrid defender has enjoyed a strong start to the season at his new club.
