Mbappé, who had already injured his right ankle at Real Madrid and had been rested in training during the week, was substituted before the end of the game in the 3-0 win against Azerbaijan, in which he scored the opening goal. His absence joins a long list of strikers missing for the October draw: Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Marcus Thuram or Bradley Barcola.

France are on course to qualify for the World Cup after three wins in three games. The away game against Iceland follows on Monday.
