The 23 players selected by Zinédine Zidane to face Italy and Turkey have not all experienced the international break under the same conditions. Some have been playing matches since the start of the season, while others have to deal with competition, injuries or their coach's choices. Their club playing time reveals considerable gaps, including among internationals belonging to the same team.
Playing time and appearance rate
Kylian Mbappé accumulated 1 432 minutes for Real Madrid, posting an appearance rate of 99.4 % in José Mourinho's team. Robin Risser, goalkeeper of RC Lens, totaled 1 350 minutes, which is 100 % of his team's available playing time, slightly above Mbappé. This regularity illustrates Risser's importance in the Lens setup.
Minutes ranking
Michael Olise recorded 1 245 minutes at Bayern Munich, placing just ahead of Jérémy Jacquet, who played 1 243 for Liverpool. The young Liverpool defender, Jérémy Jacquet, is one of the revelations of this ranking. He outruns Mike Maignan (1 196 minutes), Ibrahima Konaté (1 170 minutes) and Dayot Upamecano (1 080 minutes) despite the strong competition at the Reds.
Offensive efficiency
Michael Olise directly contributed to a goal every 69 minutes, with twelve goals and six assists in 1 245 minutes. Kylian Mbappé, scorer of seventeen goals and three assists, makes a contribution every 72 minutes.

Variations within clubs
At Real Madrid, Mbappé dominates with 1 432 minutes, followed by Ibrahima Konaté (1 170 minutes), Aurélien Tchouaméni (708 minutes) and Eduardo Camavinga (481 minutes).

Saël Kumbedi, called up as a replacement for Pierre Kalulu, played 787 minutes with Wolfsburg.
