Overview
- Mbappé was taken off around the 77th minute of France’s quarter-final with an ankle knock that Deschamps described as a slight issue.
- The latest updates say he returned to training without limitations, with MARCA reporting full participation and camp video showing him in high spirits.
- Mbappé told reporters the problem was minor and team medical staff followed standard protocol of immediate examination, icing and monitored recovery.
- Center-backs Dayot Upamecano and William Saliba missed a group session as part of workload management but the camp expects both to be available for the semi-final.
- With Mbappé likely fit, France keep their main attacking plan intact and maintain his bid for the tournament’s top scorer while managers weigh short recovery times before Tuesday’s match in Dallas.
