Mbappe injury casts shadow over France's World Cup semi-final against Spain

Kylian Mbappe trained separately on Monday after picking up an ankle problem, casting doubt over his involvement in Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final against Spain at Dallas Stadium. Didier Deschamps, the France manager, confirmed the striker is recovering from the injury and was kept apart from the main group in the final session before the match. The first spot in the final is up for grabs as two heavyweights lock horns. Spain have scored every goal on their road to the last four, setting up a thrilling meeting with the defending champions. The outcome could hinge on whether Mbappe is fit to lead the line.
