Mbappé Knee Injury Concern
Kylian Mbappé Limps Off With Apparent Knee Injury After Scoring Record Goal
Anonymous
Kylian Mbappé scored the winning goal as France beat Turkey in Zinedine Zidane’s first match as head coach, then left with an apparent left-knee injury. The France captain received treatment and briefly tried to continue before going down again and being replaced by Désiré Doué. The injury’s severity and any time away remained unclear pending further assessment.
Key Points
1
Mbappé’s goal was his record-extending 67th for France; Michael Olise set him up after Turkey lost possession deep in its own half.
2
Turkey threatened early and nearly took the lead after halftime, but France goalkeeper Mike Maignan made key saves, including stopping Ismail Yuksek’s unmarked header.
3
Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir was sent off late for handling the ball outside his area while trying to stop Bradley Barcola.
4
Mbappé had missed a France training session before the match because of flu, although he reportedly had shown no physical problems with Real Madrid before the international break.
