Marcus Thuram has left the France squad with a hamstring injury picked up in Inter's 2–0 win over Como, a game in which he scored. The federation released him to his club. Bournemouth forward Éli Junior Kroupi replaces him and receives his first senior call-up, ESPN and beIN Sports report.
Aurélien Tchouaméni has also gone. ESPN reports that he aggravated his right adductor in training, the same injury he had at this summer's World Cup, and will do his rehab at Real Madrid. France will not call up a replacement for him.
Pierre Kalulu is also out, replaced by Saël Kumbedi. William Saliba, Jules Koundé and Ousmane Dembélé were already missing, ESPN reports. France lead their Nations League group with 10 points from four games and play Italy in Milan before hosting Türkiye in Bordeaux.
