Nations League: Zidane Picks Dembele as France Captain After Mbappe Leaves Camp
Zinedine Zidane named Dembele captain for the first time after Mbappe left camp with a left-knee tendon injury, the federation said.
- France winger Ousmane Dembélé will take the captain's armband against Belgium on Monday after Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé was ruled out with a knee injury.
- Mbappé sustained a left knee tendon injury during Friday's 1-0 victory over Turkey, scoring the only goal before being substituted for Desire Doue shortly afterwards.
- "He's not good," France manager Zinedine Zidane told TF1, adding the team will not take risks with their all-time top scorer's fitness.
- The forward has flown back to Real Madrid to begin rehabilitation, creating concern for Blancos head coach Jose Mourinho ahead of their October 10 match.
- France, who have amassed 1,712 goals since 1904, prepare for Belgium without Mbappé, their 67-goal record scorer, as the Nations League campaign continues.
