Italy and France meet at San Siro in UEFA Nations League Group A1 clash

Italy and France are set to face each other at Milan's San Siro stadium in a key UEFA Nations League Group A1 match, according to Yahoo Sports. France currently leads the group by three points, but Italy can draw level with a second consecutive home win.

Italy is managed by Roberto Mancini, who recently returned to the role and has achieved two wins and one loss in his first four games back. Italy has notably been the only team to take points from France in the group so far, having drawn 1-1 in Paris last month.

Both teams are dealing with significant injuries. France is missing key players including 2025 Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele and defenders Jules Kounde and Maxence Lacroix. Italy will be without players such as Giacomo Raspadori, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, and Gianluca Mancini.

France coach Zinedine Zidane has named a new front three for the match, featuring Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, and Michael Olise. The match kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. GMT (8:45 p.m. CET) at the San Siro.

This match could be decisive for France's qualification to the competition's quarter-finals, while Italy aims to improve its standing in the group.
