France's concerns grow after Mbappé's early exit

France's concerns have grown after Kylian Mbappé's early exit from the match against Morocco due to an injury. Mbappé, the French captain, was effective in the match but showed signs of struggling with the injury. After more than 75 minutes, he decided to request a substitution. The star attacker was in fantastic form during the World Cup, with eight goals and three assists in six matches. He also scored his twentieth World Cup goal in the match. However, France's potential victory is now overshadowed by concerns over Mbappé's injury. In the second half, Mbappé was seen on the ground multiple times, struggling with his injury. Despite his initial decision to continue playing, he eventually concluded that he could not continue. Jean-Philippe Mateta replaced him, and Mbappé received a thunderous applause as he left the field.
