Kylian Mbappe scores, gets injured in France’s win vs Türkiye
Eduardo Camavinga also played.
Kocaeli, Turkey - Kylian Mbappe scored the opening goal for France in their 1-0 victory against Türkiye in the UEFA Nations League 2026/27 group phase match at Kocaeli Stadium. However, the French star's celebration was cut short as he sustained an injury while attempting to shoot. Eduardo Camavinga came on as a substitute in the second half.
Mbappe, who was set to start the shot that led to the goal, stretched his leg awkwardly and immediately felt a problem. He tried to continue but was substituted off shortly after for Desire Doue. The match saw few goal-scoring opportunities in the first half, as both teams struggled to break the deadlock. Once the game opened up in the first minutes of the first half, Mbappe capitalized on new manager Zinedine Zidane's tactics to score.
Camavinga demonstrated composure on the ball, hinting at a potential larger role in upcoming matches.
