Chelsea star Mason Mount sends emotional World Cup message after England lose to France

Mason Mount has sent a message out after England crashed out of the Qatar World Cup following a 2-1 loss to reigning champions France. The Chelsea star was a second half substitute as soon as Olivier Giroud gave Les Bleus a late lead and won the second penalty for his side before Harry Kane smashed over from 12 yards.

The 23-year-old started the first two group games before being replaced against Wales by Jordan Henderson from the start. He didn't start against Senegal either as Gareth Southgate opted for control in midfield. This was Mount's first senior World Cup after playing in Holland with Vitesse Arnhem in 2018 as a teenager.

Mount has not had the best of seasons so far for Chelsea and has struggled to get going even under Graham Potter but he remains a key part of his domestic and international setup.
