Manchester United have another senior international!After Ibrahima Konate picked up a knee injury during the France national team's preparations for their away UEFA Nations League clash against Turkey (21.45), the new Les Bleus head coach, Zinedine Zidane, had to act instantly and find someone to step in and fill the void.##TWITTER_<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨Ibrahima Konaté sprained his knee while training with France<br><br>Leny Yoro has been called up as a replacement <a href="https://t.co/0Mpf7878O7">pic.twitter.com/0Mpf7878O7</a></p>— Polymarket Sports (@PolymarketSport) <a href="https://x.com/PolymarketSport/status/2103152294418330091?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 24, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>##The nod ultimately went to the Red Devils center-back Leny Yoro, who had initially been called up for the France U21 squad. Now, he'll be in line to make his international debut.##LINKED_NEWS_69313##Even though United's defense hasn't exactly impressed since the start of the current season – they have conceded 11 goals in seven games, keeping only one clean sheet – Yoro can hardly be blamed, though, having made only four appearances and played just 202 minutes.His talent, however, is beyond question – the Red Devils signed him from Lille two years ago for €62 million – and Zidane was apparently well aware of it.##TWITTER_<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨🗣 Zidane on calling up Leny Yoro after Konate injury:<br><br>"I see a lot of potentials in him, i love his passion, energy and resilience, I may have not calling him initially but, I want to let him know that I believe in him that's why I call him to boost his confidence"<br><br>"I see… <a href="https://t.co/tCwaHD8dgE">pic.twitter.com/tCwaHD8dgE</a></p>— FullTime Report (@FullTimeX_) <a href="https://x.com/FullTimeX_/status/2103039047639712009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 24, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>##Nevertheless, with Dayot Upamecano, Maxence Lacroix, Pierre Kalulu, and Jeremy Jacquet competing for center-back spots, minutes will be hard to come by for the 20-year-old.Either way, Yoro is in the mix – and that's what matters most for him.UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE AThursdayNetherlands – Germany 1-1 (0-1)/Gakpo 90+2 – Nmecha 32/Norway – Denmark 3-2 (2-1)/Bobb 14, Haaland 18, 74 – Damsgaard 25, Hojlund 60/Portugal – Wales 1-0 (1-0)/Felix 22/Serbia – Greece 1-2 (1-0)/Zivkovic 4 – Tzolis 74, Douvikas 90+4/Friday21.45: (2.25) Italy (3.40) Belgium (3.20)21.45: (6.75) Turkey (4.40) France (1.48)UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE BThursdayAustria – Israel 3-1 (1-0)/Schmid 43 pen, Mwene 90, Kalajdzic 90+3 – Farchi 55/Kosovo* – R.
