Ibrahima Konaté Suffers Minor Knee Sprain, Leny Yoro Called Up by France
Ibrahima Konaté has left the France camp with a minor knee sprain, while Leny Yoro has been called up as his replacement.

Ibrahima Konaté has suffered a minor right knee sprain and will leave the France national team camp, according to French journalist Andrés Onrubia.
The Real Madrid defender is set to return to Madrid, where he will undergo further assessment and continue his recovery with the club.
Konaté's withdrawal comes during the current international break, with France now turning to Manchester United defender Leny Yoro as his replacement.

Yoro has been called up to the France squad to fill the vacancy left by Konaté. The young centre-back now has an opportunity to work with Zinedine Zidane and compete for minutes during the international break.
The extent of Konaté's absence remains unclear, although the injury has initially been described as a minor sprain. Real Madrid will monitor his condition closely following his return to the Spanish capital.
For Yoro, meanwhile, the call-up represents another significant step in his development at international level.
