UEFA Nations League A – Game Week 512 Nov 2026 – 14:45
San Siro
Rai 1 will broadcast Italy v France live, with a free live stream on RaiPlay. Here’s how to follow the match.
At San Siro in Milan, Italy and France meet in a UEFA Nations League A clash. Both need points to consolidate their positions in Group 1.
Roberto Mancini has put his faith in youth for this international window, bringing several emerging talents into the squad, including Chelsea full-back Marco Palestra and Como attacking midfielder Mattia Liberali. The Italy head coach has acknowledged that he currently has no specialist deep-lying playmaker, citing the lack of a player in Jorginho’s mould as an issue to resolve for the national team’s future.
One of Mancini’s most experienced call-ups will be absent. Nicolo Zaniolo has left the training camp at Coverciano for strictly personal reasons. The Udinese playmaker made clear on Instagram that his departure has nothing to do with injuries or internal tensions, and reaffirmed his commitment to the Italy shirt.
Zinedine Zidane also has a lengthy injury list for this double-header. Marcus Thuram withdrew with a problem affecting his right hamstring tendon, and defender Pierre Kalulu is unavailable. Aurélien Tchouaméni then underwent tests after experiencing pubic discomfort during a tactical session at Clairefontaine, leaving the Real Madrid midfielder’s availability in doubt. Kylian Mbappé, meanwhile, is available to Zidane after missing the last three call-ups through injury. Team-mate Ibrahima Konaté says the Bleus captain appears to be in an excellent frame of mind.
Having drawn 1-1 in October, Italy and France meet again in the Nations League. Here’s how to watch live on TV and
