Why Kylian Mbappe missed France training ahead of England World Cup quarter final

Kylian Mbappe missed France's training session on Tuesday as the world champions prepare to face England in the quarter finals. The 23-year-old scored two in the 3-0 last-16 victory over Poland on Sunday and already has five goals in the tournament.

Didier Deschamps' side have already been heavily impacted by injuries in the attacking area and are missing 2022 Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema as well as Christopher Nkunku. The Paris Saint-Germain star doesn't appear to be in the same boat as those two though.

The briefing in Qatar suggests that Mbappe isn't injured, despite the rest of his teammates training, and that he was inside undergoing a recovery session.
