France international and Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe, has tested positive for COVID-19 and has left the French national team which is playing in the ongoing UEFA Nations League.
Mbappe will therefore miss the France versus Croatia game on Tuesday night.
A statement from the French FA said: “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.
“Like the entire delegation, Kylian Mbappe had undergone a test prior to the games of the international break. The result was negative, like the one last Wednesday, at the request of UEFA, before Sweden against France.”
