Zinedine Zidane supervised his first training session with the French national team yesterday, as the squad prepares for its campaign in the new edition of the UEFA Nations League. Under the watchful eyes of around 50 journalists, Zidane, who won the 1998 World Cup with France, led a light training session at the National Football Center in Clairefontaine, attended by approximately 12 players from his squad. Due to several French stars participating with their clubs across Europe over the weekend, Zidane’s 23-man roster was not fully present. Those who took part included Michael Olise, Eduardo Camavinga, Jules Koundé, and Dayot Upamecano, while captain Kylian Mbappé was absent. Mbappé played in Sunday’s Madrid derby for Real Madrid against Atlético Madrid, which ended in a defeat for his team.
