France's Kylian Mbappé off injured after brace against Russia
The PSG forward showed plenty of class in the comfortable victory in the international friendly but there were concerned faces as he asked to leave the field.
According to reports coming from French daily L´Equipe, Kylian Mbappé left the field in the friendly against Russia injured.
Mbappé impresses
The Paris Saint-Germain forward had shown some of the form seen at Monaco and PSG that earned him the international call up, including getting on the score sheet for the first time in a France shirt. That goal in the 39th minute made him the youngest to score away for home for Les Bleus since René Gérard 85 years ago.

Mbappé then went on to get a second in the 82nd minute before being substituted for the much-rumoured Liverpool and Arsenal target Lemar just a couple of minutes later.
