Mbappe had scored the only goal as Les Bleus won 1-0 in Turkey on Friday.
But he sustained a tendon injury in his left knee during the clash in Kocaeli.

The forward has flown back to Madrid to begin his rehabilitation process.
L’Equipe reports that Dembele is set to captain the national team for the very first time in his career.
