Probable line-ups: France vs. Italy with big names returning

France and Italy are preparing to face each other in UEFA Nations League Matchday 3 at the Stade de France with several lineup adjustments expected. Italy manager Roberto Mancini confirmed that striker Moise Kean is a major doubt, likely paving the way for brothers Pio and Sebastiano Esposito to start together in attack alongside Daniel Maldini. Michael Kayode is also set to keep his place at right-back.

France will be without Kylian Mbappé due to a knee injury, but Adrien Rabiot and Manu Koné are expected to return to the midfield. Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise are also slated to rejoin the attacking trident, while reports suggest goalkeeper Mike Maignan could be rested in favor of Guillaume Restes.
