Mbappé Scores Against Turkey for France, Then Suffers Knee Injury
Kylian Mbappé experienced a bittersweet evening playing for France. The forward for Les Bleus was instrumental in scoring the first goal under Zinedine Zidane's management of the national team, only to be substituted due to a physical problem soon after.
France took the lead following a defensive miscue by Turkey near their own penalty area. Olise intercepted the ball and passed it to Mbappé, who beat the opposing goalkeeper with a powerful right-footed shot, making it 1-0 for the French side.
Immediately after scoring, however, the French captain felt pain in his left knee and remained on the ground briefly. Mbappé attempted to continue playing and managed to stand up, but he was visibly hampered by the issue and walked with a slight limp.
After a few minutes, the coaching staff made the decision to substitute him. Zidane replaced the number 10 with Désiré Doué. The captain's armband then went to Ousmane Dembélé, tasked with leading Les Bleus after his teammate's departure.
Mbappé's condition will be assessed in the coming hours with further medical examinations to determine the extent of his knee problem.
