POLICY WIRE — Paris, France — Kylian Mbappe has been diagnosed with a hyperextension of his left knee following France’s 1-0 Nations League win over Turkey, according to Real Madrid.

The French forward was forced to leave the match shortly after scoring the decisive goal, as reported by multiple outlets. He returned to the pitch briefly but then collapsed again, leading to his substitution in the 58th minute of the game, which marked Zinedine Zidane’s first match as France’s head coach.
