PARIS (AP) — France defender Pierre Kalulu has a hamstring injury and will miss upcoming Nations League games against Italy and Turkey.

The national team said Monday that Kalulu sustained the injury when playing at right back for Italian side Juventus against Fiorentina in Serie A on Sunday. Although he completed the game, tests afterward showed a tear on his left hamstring.

The France team added that he will receive treatment in Turin. Kalulu will be replaced in the squad by uncapped right back Saël Kumbedi, who plays for Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga

Coach Zinedine Zidane’s side faces Italy in Milan on Thursday and then host Turkey in Bordeaux on Sunday. ___
