Zinedine Zidane’ debut as the French coach went good in terms of the result. The popular Zizou managed to record his maiden win over strong Turkey, and the only goalscorer was Kylian Mbappe. It was a bit ironical that the French changed from Didier Deschamps to Zinedine Zidane only to see the same player scoring the winner. A win was great for France, but the game has potentially bad consequences for Real Madrid, as two of players got injured. Ibrahima Konate should’t be a big problem but Kylian Mbappe’s worried face caused fear at Santiago Bernabeu.Mbappe brightened Zidane's debut, then scared him with an injury; Italy still terribleAfter scoring what proved to be a winning goal, the Real striker was unable to continue even though he tried and not only was he injured, but he is already back in Madrid and won’t play for France in the next couple of days."It doesn't look good, unfortunately. I think he'll have to come back. We're not going to take any risks. He developed hyperextension in his knee during the shot. It's not very encouraging that he can continue“ said Zidane after the game.🚨Ibrahima Konaté sprained his knee while training with FranceLeny Yoro has been called up as a replacement pic.twitter.com/0Mpf7878O7— Polymarket Sports (@PolymarketSport) September 24, 2026 What is even worse is that Mbappe injured his left knee, the same one which bothered him twice last season, the same one that caused so much talk last season. The one that triggered a real earthquake following a misdiagnosis. Real official cannot wait enough to see the results of the tests, while looking at the calendar at the same time. The deadline – El Clasico, which is to be played on October 25th. After trailing six points already, Real must not lose against Barcelona, and it will be even more difficult to do it if their best player is unavailable. As for Konate, he didn’t play due to a sprained knee and he too is back in Madrid. Mourinho starter him almost every game so far, but unlike Mbappe, he should be ready for the derby.UEFA – NATIONS LEAGUE A Saturday21.45: (3.35) Czech R.
