Hearts star Cammy Devlin on facing Kylian Mbappe and France and Australia World Cup 'underdogs' tag

Cammy Devlin admits it will be 'mental' to face the likes of Kylian Mbappe with Australia at the World Cup.

The Hearts star is one of three players to represent the Tynecastle side with Nathaniel Atkinson and Kye Rowles also part of Graham Arnold's 26-man squad. It's a massive occasion for any professional footballer to represent their country and the fact he is doing it on the biggest global stage is still 'surreal' for the midfielder.

He knows the Socceroos will wear the underdogs tag, but even up against the best in the word the 24-year-old is out to surprise people and cause a major shock. Devlin and Co also come up against Denmark and Tunisia in their section but the opener against Les Blues is an opportunity he wants to cherish as you never know how many times you will come up against the biggest names in the game.
