During the international friendly between France and Morocco on July 9, 2026, Kylian Mbappé was substituted in the second half due to a physical problem. The French star appeared to feel discomfort in his right thigh after a sprint, prompting medical staff to assess him on the sidelines.
According to initial reports from the French Football Federation (FFF), Mbappé will undergo further examinations on July 10 to determine the severity of the injury. Coach Didier Deschamps stated after the match: 'We are cautious. Kylian felt something, and we didn't want to take risks.'
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Mbappé's absence in the final stages noticeable. France's next match is scheduled for September in the UEFA Nations League, and the team hopes Mbappé's issue is minor.
