One of the rising stars of the upcoming FIFA World Cup gave France quite a scare during today's training session, as he had to leave the pitch limping due to a nasty tackle by Adil Rami.
Mbappé fell immediately to the ground following Rami's tackle, who thought his team-mate hadn't been seriously injured. Moments after he saw Mbappé experiencing quite a deal of pain, Rami called for the team's doctors.
France is set to make their debut against Australia on Saturday evening, but now, Mbappé is a major question mark in Didier Deschamps' lineup.
Here's how Mbappé picked up this untimely injury.
BIG BLOW!!

Later today, Mbappé erased rumors of a serious injury. Nevertheless, the team's medical staff will determine his availability for Saturday's clash.
"I'm OK. It's just a hit so it doesn't matter, but thank you for your messages. And let my friend Adil Rami know he wasn't so mean."
Je vais bien, c'est juste un coup donc ce n'est pas grave mais merci pour vos messages
