Kylian Mbappé scored in France’s 1-0 win over Türkiye, then left in the 58th minute with a knee injury. The French federation identified a knee tendon injury and said he would return to Madrid for assessment; no recovery timeline has been announced.
Mbappé is expected to miss Monday’s Nations League match against Belgium in Brussels. France has three more Nations League matches over the next 10 days, and coach Zinedine Zidane said the situation did not look encouraging and that they would take no risks.
The goal was Mbappé’s 67th for France, extending his record as the national team’s leading scorer. The match was Zidane’s first as France head coach.
