Consequences for the Bleus
Zinédine Zidane, coach of the French team, obviously relies on his captain for upcoming international fixtures. This injury represents a potential piece of bad news for his plans.
After being rested earlier in the week due to flu‑like symptoms, Mbappé had resumed training normally on Wednesday and was declared fit for this match.
