Kylian Mbappé scored France's winner against Turkey but limped off with an apparent knee injury in the Nations League opener.

France defeated 10-man Turkey 1-0 in their Nations League opener, with Kylian Mbappé scoring the 55th-minute winner. The Real Madrid striker, who rifled in a low shot after being set up by Michael Olise, left the field appearing to clutch his left knee. saltysenoritaaz.org

Mbappé, who extended his France goal record to 67 with the strike, sat on the ground grimacing as he rubbed the area around his knee shortly after scoring. The injury casts doubt on his availability for France's upcoming matches in the tournament.
