'Out of order' - Kylian Mbappe torn to shreds by Roy Keane for apparent time-wasting tactics after suffering broken nose in France's narrow win over Austria

The France captain suffered a fractured nose after colliding with opponent defender Kevin Danso during their 1-0 win over Austria on Monday. The player initially received treatment after being left bloodied before leaving the ground briefly. He soon returned to the pitch only to go down once again, which led to the referee booking him for wasting time.

The incident drew ire from ITV pundit and Manchester United legend Keane, who slammed the 25-year-old for wasting time and lacking sportsman spirit, claiming the player fully deserved the yellow card.

Speaking on ITV, Keane said: "He gets an injury, obviously it’s frustrating he’s gone back on the pitch. Whether he’s trying to stop the play... but he’s gone on to sit on the pitch. I don’t like to see this, this is out of order. Listen, whether he’s been instructed by the manager to go back, he’s obviously had treatment, he’s come off.

"I don’t mind he’s gone back on the pitch, I know players can make mistakes. But to go back on and sit on the pitch, he deserved that yellow card. I don’t like to see it. No, it’s not (good gamesmanship)."

The new Real Madrid player is likely to remain out of action for almost 15 days, which means he is set to miss the remaining group stage matches and the round of 16 clash if France progress to the knockout round, though a official announcement on his fitness has not yet been made.
