French striker Kylian Mbappe stated that the injury sustained during the quarter-final match against Morocco was not severe. The incident occurred in the 76th minute of the 2026 World Cup quarter-final, during which Mbappe, who contributed both a goal and an assist, was observed sitting on the pitch and appeared unable to continue. He ultimately needed to be substituted, a process he managed himself.
Following the match, Mbappe commented on his condition, assuring that the injury was minor. He noted that at that time, Jean-Philippe Mateta was in better form and was therefore given the opportunity to play the final fifteen minutes. Mbappe added that the team faced significant upcoming challenges, including the eventual final, but expressed confidence in their ability to overcome them soon.
His comments were made after the match, which saw the French team face Real Madrid. The focus remains on the recovery of the mbappe’s injury as the team progresses through the tournament. The french star’s reassurance suggests a manageable setback rather than a long-term issue, maintaining focus on the team’s path to the final stages of the World Cup.
