Mbappé limps off with apparent knee injury after scoring for France against Turkey

IZMIT, Turkey -- IZMIT, Turkey (AP) — Kylian Mbappé limped off moments after opening the scoring for France against Turkey in the Nations League on Friday.

Mbappé rifled in a low shot in the 55th minute after he was set up by Michael Olise.

But moments after his France record-extending 67th goal, the Real Madrid star sat on the ground and grimaced as he rubbed the area around his left knee.
