What happened: The French Football Federation confirmed Friday that centre-back Dayot Upamecano has left the national team camp for personal reasons. The 28-year-old started in France's 3-1 UEFA Nations League loss to Italy at the San Siro before traveling back to Munich.
Why it matters: The departure thins the squad's central defense under manager Zinédine Zidane, who suffered his first defeat since taking charge and remains without William Saliba. France must now retool their back line against Turkiye, with Real Madrid's Ibrahima Konaté positioned to partner Liverpool's Jérémy Jacquet.
What to watch: France host Turkiye in Bordeaux on Sunday as Les Bleus look to rebound in Nations League play.
