Mbappe mishap

FRANCE forward Kylian Mbappe has played down an injury scare after he limped out of training.

Didier Deschamps’ squad were taking part in an open session in Istra when Paris Saint-Germain striker Mbappe went down following a challenge with defender Adil Rami. Mbappe, 19, was pictured laying on the floor holding his left ankle before then being helped up by staff.

Mbappe tweeted: “I’m fine, it’s just a knock so it does not matter but thank you for your posts. PS: And leave my friend @Rami13official it was not mean??”

France meet Australia in their opening match on Saturday.
