Kylian Mbappe’s ankle knock is “nothing serious”, according to France head coach Didier Deschamps.
Mbappe was substituted at half-time in France’s 2-0 international friendly win over Bolivia on Sunday.
The Paris Saint-Germain superstar suffered a seemingly minor injury in a tangle with Bolivia’s Raul Castro in Nantes.
However, Deschamps allayed fears over Mbappe ahead of Saturday’s Euro 2020 showdown against Turkey.
“It’s nothing serious,” Deschamps told reporters post-match.
“It’s just ankle foot pain after a touch. There was no risk to take. He should go [for the next match].”
