France boss Deschamps provides Kylian Mbappé update after fresh injury scare | OneFootball

France national team boss Didier Deschamps has provided a fresh update on the wellbeing of attacking star Kylian Mbappé.

This comes after the frontman was forced into a premature departure from his country’s latest outing.

France marked their return to action a short time ago, playing host to Azerbaijan in a World Cup qualifying clash.

The aforementioned Mbappé featured from the off in the fixture, and played a starring role in an eventual 3-0 triumph for Les Bleus.

The 26-year-old was responsible for a goal and an assist, in the process keeping alive a spectacular run of individual form.

Inside the closing exchanges on Friday, however, Mbappé pulled up with a fitness problem, before limping from the field of play and straight down the tunnel at the Parc des Princes.

Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle, the wellbeing of Real Madrid’s goalscorer extraordinaire was in turn put to Didier Deschamps.

And France’s headmaster went on to explan:

“Kylian Mbappé’s injury? He received another blow to the same ankle where he was hurt. The pain decreases when he rests. In a match, contacts are inevitably going to happen. We will assess it. He has discomfort that is not ideal for him.”
