After the goal, Mbappé tried to continue, but the pain in his left knee became unbearable. The coaches decided to substitute him to avoid further damage.

The substitute was Doué, who took the Frenchman's place in attack. Doué was immediately put into the lineup to maintain offensive pressure.

The news immediately caused anxiety at Real Madrid, which relies on Mbappé for the upcoming Champions League, and at the French national team, which has called him up for the Nations League final stage. Both organisations fear a prolonged period of inactivity.

At the moment no further information has been provided about the player's recovery time. The national team's doctor confirmed the need for a thorough assessment.
