Kylian Mbappé has moved to calm fears about his fitness after sustaining what he called a knock on his ankle during France's 2-0 World Cup quarterfinal victory over Morocco.

The France captain reassured supporters and staff, stating he was in good shape despite the concern his discomfort sparked late in the match. "I'm all good," Mbappé said, brushing aside suggestions that the knock could sideline him ahead of a potential semifinal.

Morocco had been one of the tournament's standout stories, becoming the first African nation to reach a World Cup semifinal before France brought their remarkable run to an end. The result sets up a last-four contest for France, who continue to build momentum in the competition.
