KATHMANDU: French football star Kylian Mbappe has been diagnosed with coronavirus, the French Football Federation (FFF) said.
Mbappe took a test on Monday morning that came out positive, the FFF said, and was then isolated from the French national team. France is scheduled to play at home in Paris on Tuesday against Croatia in a UEFA Nations League match.
The 21-year-old is the seventh Paris Saint-Germain player to have tested positive for coronavirus in recent weeks. Neymar was reportedly among six others to test positive last week.
Mbappe played for France against Sweden on Saturday, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win.
