Mbappe ruled out of France squad with knee injury

Mbappe suffered a left knee injury in the 59th minute, just moments after netting the only goal of the game in the 54th minute against Turkey. The FFF and manager Zinedine Zidane confirmed his withdrawal from the France squad to return to Real Madrid. The forward, who has scored 67 goals for his country, will now miss the upcoming Nations League double-header against Belgium and Italy.

Netherlands hand emergency call-up to Joshua Zirkzee to replace Brobbey

Brian Brobbey was forced to withdraw after picking up a hamstring injury in the 35th minute against Germany. Manager Xavi Hernandez has handed an emergency call-up to Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee as his replacement for the clash with Serbia. It represents a golden opportunity for the striker, who has played just 20 minutes in the Premier League this season, to rediscover his form and add to his six international caps.
