Official: Konate has withdrawn from the France squad due to a thigh injury and will return to Liverpool to recuperate.

October 11th Hupu News Official news: Liverpool central defender Konate, who was a full substitute in the French team's 3-0 victory over Azerbaijan early this morning, will also miss the second game of this international match day.

It has been confirmed that the Liverpool center back will return to the club due to a thigh injury and will not travel with the team to Iceland to compete - the same situation applies to Mbappe, who has an injured right ankle, but the latter's latest examination results have ruled out serious risks. Both players received individual rehabilitation training at the beginning of the training camp.

The French team will fly to Reykjavik this Saturday to prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifier (fourth round) against Iceland at 20:45 local time on Monday night. The team led by Deschamps currently leads Group D with three wins in three matches. They will also face Ukraine at the Parc des Princes on November 13 and Azerbaijan away from home on November 16.
