Mbappe gives France a scare after hobbling out of training

FRANCE forward Kylian Mbappe has played down an injury scare after he limped out of training yesterday. Didier Deschamps’s squad were taking part in an open session at the Glebovets Stadium in Istra when the Paris Saint-Germain striker went down following a challenge with defender Adil Rami.

Mbappe (19) lay on the floor holding his left ankle before being helped up by staff. There was no immediate further details given of the injury by the French Football Federation, which had broadcast the training session on YouTube.

However, later in the day, Mbappe (left) took to his Twitter account to allay fears it could be a serious problem. “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.”
