After receiving a lengthy spell of treatment, Mbappe was forced off the pitch, as is customary for any player who requires medical intervention.

However, Mbappe picked up a booking for re-entering the field of play without the referee’s permission – something that was a very deliberate time-wasting effort as he burst onto the pitch before slumping to the floor once again.

Reacting to the incident, Roy Keane told ITV: “He’s got an injury and he’s gone back on the pitch to try and stop the play, but he’s gone to sit on the pitch.

“To go back on the pitch and sit on the pitch? He deserves that yellow card – I don’t like to see it.”

Such was the nasty nature of Mbappe’s injury, the Real Madrid-bound forward was replaced by Olivier Giroud who led the line in the closing minutes for France.

Despite Mbappe going off, it was victory for France with Maximilian Wober’s own goal giving Deschamps’ side the win.

This came after Mbappe’s run and cross was sent into his own net by the Leeds United man.

Fresh from agreeing his move to Real Madrid, Mbappe is hoping to complete his international trophy collection this summer.
