Kylian Mbappe was forced to limp out of France’s open training session on Tuesday with an apparent ankle injury. The 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain superstar, is set to feature in his first international tournament with Les bleus, having made his senior debut for Didier Deschamps’ side last year. However, a clash with Adil Rami, the defender left Mbappe on the floor and this forced him to limp out of the training session. It follows another knock that the former Monaco teenager sustained in France’s 1-1 draw with the United States in their final World Cup warm-up friendly earlier this week, having earlier scored the equaliser in Lyon.Mbappe, who has been linked with Manchester City and Manchester United this summer, is expected to play a starring role for France in Russia this summer.
There was no further details given of the injury by the French Football Federation immidiately, which had broadcast the training session on YouTube.However, later on Tuesday, Mbappe took to his personal Twitter account to allay fears of it being a serious problem.
France are regarded as one of the favorites for this world cup tournament, and they get their campaign underway on Saturday against Australia, before playing Peru and Denmark in the remaining group c fixtures. Beside things might not go too well for the team as expected if the PSG giant goal scorer Mbappe is absent, not to say there aren’t other players equally good as he is, but his absence will really create a void in the team.
