  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The France captain did not play any part in the team's 1-1 draw against Netherlands in their second group stage clash due to a fractured nose that he suffered against Austria. Earlier reports suggested that Mbappe could be sidelined for at least 15 days which means he will remain out of action until the quarter-final stage.
