Injured Mbappe ruled out of Azerbaijan World Cup qualifier

PARIS, Nov 14 (AFP): Real Madrid attacker Kylian Mbappe, 26, scored twice in Thursday's 4-0 win over Ukraine which secured his country's place in next year's tournament, but the France captain will miss Les Bleus' last World Cup qualifier match against Azerbaijan this weekend with an ankle injury, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced on Friday.
France coach Didier Deschamps will also be without Eduardo Camavinga due to injury and the suspended Manu Kone for their final Group D game in the campaign, scheduled to be held on Sunday in Baku.
"Kylian Mbappe has felt an inflammation in his right ankle that requires tests," the FFF said. "He will undergo them today in Madrid," it added.
