    The Paris Saint-Germain star has sparked great interest from Madrid

Kylian Mbappe is said to have withdrawn from the France team after injuring his calf in the Blues’ draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The 22-year-old was taken out in the dying moments of his country’s World Cup qualifiers in Strasbourg as the 10-a-side world champions failed to overtake the 58th-ranked team.

Mbappe has since undergone medical examinations and L’Equipe (via Marca) reports that a calf problem means he will not play a role in matches against Ukraine and Finland and that he has been released from his post international.

The forward is back at Paris Saint-Germain, although no deadline has been set for Mbappe’s potential return to action.

PSG fans were hoping their star players would return unscathed from their international duties, after heaving a huge sigh of relief after Lionel Messi did not suffer a serious injury following a horror tackle with Argentina.

Venezuelan defender Luis Martinez encountered a cold-blooded tackle during their World Cup qualification, his cleats making contact just below Messi’s shin. The Venezuelan was sent off for the horrific challenge as Messi was able to continue helping to secure a 3-1 victory.

Mbappe has had a roller coaster summer. He was part of Didier Deschamps’ squad that crashed during Euro 2020 amid reports of disagreements in the camp, especially between the 22-year-old and Olivier Giroud of AC Milan.

However, tests detected the problem and it returned to PSG, reports L’Equipe

He was the subject of keen interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid, who saw a £ 172million offer for the Frenchman rejected by the Parisians, with only one remaining. year on his contract.

Los Blancos are expected to make an exceptional pre-contract offer for Mbappe’s services in January, when they are allowed to speak freely with the striker without having to negotiate with PSG.

Mauricio Pochettino has been tasked with winning PSG their first Champions League title and, with an attacking trio of Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi, are set to finally triumph with the ambitious French giants.
