Any reason for concern? It has been revealed whether Mbappé will play in the World Cup semi-final

France booked their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-finals with a quarter-final victory over Morocco, but Les Bleus' captain and star player picked up an injury during the match.

Details: According to Fabrice Hawkins, Kylian Mbappé is expected to play in the semi-final against the winner of the Spain vs Belgium quarter-final. However, France's coaching staff are closely monitoring the condition of the forward's ankle.

Notably, this is the same ankle that was injured following Loïc Perrin's challenge in the 2020 Coupe de France final. Although it has improved significantly since then, it remains susceptible to injury.

Meanwhile, France were awarded a penalty midway through the first half, with Kylian Mbappé stepping up to take the spot-kick. However, he was unable to beat Bono, who produced a fine save to keep the scores level.

Reminder: France and Morocco are facing off in the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and although a penalty was awarded midway through the first half, questions have since been raised over whether the incident involved simulation.
