Man City star Kyle Walker sent Kylian Mbappe warning ahead of World Cup clash

Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has been told that 'clever' Kylian Mbappe will get the better of him when England take on France on Saturday.

England and France will go head-to-head for a place in the World Cup semi-finals on Saturday evening, after they reached the quarter-finals with wins against Senegal and Poland respectively. Much of the talk since the meeting was confirmed has been about how England will cope with France and Paris Saint-Germain attacker Mbappe, who has scored five goals in four appearances in Qatar.

The popular solution has been Walker. The City full-back only made his long-awaited return from a groin injury in England's final group stage game - a 3-0 win against Wales - but many see his speed as England's only defence against Mbappe's rapid acceleration.
