Manchester City defender Kyle Walker insists he will not "roll out the red carpet" for Kylian Mbappe when England take on France in their World Cup blockbuster on Saturday night.
Mbappe, 23, has been a shining light at the Qatar showcase with five goals from three starts to propel the holders into another last-eight showdown. England, meanwhile, have clocked up three wins and coasted past Senegal to book their spot in the quarters where they will meet the PSG superstar and his esteemed teammates.
After picking up an injury before the tournament, Walker defied the odds to be passed fit enough for inclusion and will be put through his paces by Mbappe at the Al-Bayt Stadium on Saturday night. The impending battle between the two players has been billed as a potentially game-defining one.
