 Kylian Mbappé has reassured France fans that the ankle injury he suffered during the 2-0 FIFA World Cup quarter-final win over Morocco is not serious.

After being substituted in the 77th minute, Mbappé explained:

"I have a minor ankle injury, but I'm completely fine."

He added that the substitution was precautionary after taking a knock to his ankle during the match.

France coach Didier Deschamps also played down concerns, indicating there was no major issue. Since then, Mbappé has completed a full training session, further suggesting he is fit to play in France's World Cup semi-final against Spain.

Despite the injury scare, Mbappé still had a decisive performance against Morocco:

  • Missed an early penalty.
  • Scored France's opening goal.
  • Helped create Ousmane Dembélé's goal.
  • Left the pitch late as a precaution after the ankle knock
