Mbappe scored the decisive goal in the 54th minute to secure a winning debut for head coach Zinedine Zidane, but went down holding his knee immediately after celebrating. Although he returned to the pitch following initial pitchside treatment, he fell to the ground again shortly after, prompting Zidane to substitute him in the 58th minute. Speaking after the match, Zidane confirmed that Mbappe will leave the national team camp and return to Real Madrid for further medical assessment. A French team official confirmed to the AP that Mbappe suffered a patellar tendon injury in his knee. The injury leaves France without their talismanic forward for upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Belgium on Monday, followed by home matches at the Stade de France against Italy on October 2 and Belgium on October 5.
