Kylian Mbappe is reportedly a doubt for France’s quarter-final match against England due to an injury.

It has been reported that the Paris Saint Germain forward missed France’s training on Tuesday, having complained about an ankle injury.

On Monday, the French squad was given time to rest and recover after managing an emphatic 3-1 victory over Poland, but on Tuesday, Mbappe was not among the team which returned for training.

The absence of Mbappe has sparked fears that the pacey forward could likely watch the match against England on Saturday from the sidelines.

The former Monaco forward was, however spotted in the gym training solo despite missing the training with the rest of the squad.

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old Mbappe is the man to watch at the ongoing World Cup tournament as he leads the goal-scoring charts with five goals ahead of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Having scored five goals already in this tournament, Mbappe could be a big problem for England’s defence with slow-paced defenders like Harry Maguire and John Stones.

Commenting ahead of France vs England’s promising thriller, England legend Gary Neville said that Gareth Southgate should play with a back four and start speedster Kyle Walker to deal with Mbappe’s threat in terms of pace.

“I always thought we’d play three at the back in this tournament, but I don’t think we will now.

“I didn’t think the centre-back pairing would be strong enough, but John Stones and Harry Maguire are holding up.

“It’s whether what they’ve played against so far in the first three games is going to be anything like what they face moving forward, and I don’t think it is.”

He added:

“It looks like a collision course waiting to happen, doesn’t it? Mbappe versus Walker.

“We’ve got the perfect right-back to deal with Mbappe if anyone can – physical, pace, experience.”
