Kylian Mbappe is fit and ready for France’s 2026 World Cup semifinal against Spain. That’s the word from coach Didier Deschamps, who confirmed his star forward has fully recovered from the minor ankle injury he picked up during the quarterfinal win over Morocco on July 9.
Mbappe was substituted during the Morocco match as a precautionary measure after tweaking his ankle. He still managed to score his eighth goal of the tournament before leaving the pitch.
Deschamps has since confirmed there are “no problems” with Mbappe’s fitness. The striker has participated fully in training sessions ahead of the semifinal, putting to rest any speculation about his availability.
With 20 World Cup goals across his career, Mbappe has cemented himself as one of the most prolific scorers in the tournament’s history.
