Across the international window, concern has travelled back from national-team camps to some of Europe’s biggest clubs. The Nations League programme and a series of friendlies have already left several players managing physical problems, with Kylian Mbappé and Brian Brobbey among those affected.
The news from the club
Mbappé, Patrick Dorgu, Kai Havertz, Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak and Brobbey are among the players to have suffered fitness issues while away with their countries.
The injuries have added an unwelcome layer of uncertainty for their clubs, which now await clearer assessments as the international fixtures conclude. With domestic and European commitments approaching, the condition of each player will be closely monitored before they return to club duty.
