Kylian Mbappe missed France’s Uefa Nations League clash against Croatia last night after testing positive for the coronavirus.
Les Bleus sent the ace home ahead of the replay of the 2018 World Cup final, in which Mbappe scored twice as France won 4-2.
Mbappe becomes the fourth Paris St Germain star to contract Covid-19 in the last month.
Neymar, Angel di Maria and Leandro Paredes all tested positive for the virus after returning from holidays on the Spanish party island of Ibiza.
The France football federation said in a statement yesterday regarding Mbappe: “The result of his Covid-19 test carried out by Uefa on Monday morning was found to be positive.
“He was placed away from the group after receiving the results, at the end of training, before going back to his own home in the evening.”
