Kylian Mbappé suffers knee tendon injury, ruled out of France camp | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé has sustained a knee tendon injury and will miss the rest of France’s camp, the French Football Federation said in a post.

Zinedine Zidane’s first match as France head coach ended in a 1-0 Nations League win in Türkiye, with Mbappé scoring the only goal. He then injured himself in the 59th minute, clutching his left knee, briefly tried to continue, then went down again.

Post-match, Zidane said the situation did not look good, explaining the knee took strain from the shot. He added he believed Mbappé would return to Madrid and that no risks would be taken.

Initial examinations point to a tendon problem in the left knee, with further tests scheduled for Saturday. Mbappé will return to Madrid for assessment by his club’s doctors, who will determine the extent of the issue and his lay-off.

The episode overshadowed Zidane’s winning debut and is France’s main concern during this international window.
