France forward Kylian Mbappe made light of the "knock" he picked up in the team's 1-1 draw with the United States in their final World Cup warm-up. "Ice packs? No, it is just a knock," Mbappe was quoted as saying by ESPNFC. "I hit the ball poorly and I fell -- it is nothing serious. It will be treated, and it will go away," he added.

"This draw on Saturday will serve us well -- it is encouraging. We wanted to win, of course, but we saw what we were missing from a match similar to a group stage encounter. It will help us moving forward. We have a week to work," the Paris Saint Germain attacker added. Mbappe, who scored the equaliser after being teed up by Stuttgart's Benjamin Pavard said: "My goal? It was decent. I think that I have moved up through the gears during these friendlies -- I have more and more pace. I was decisive and did what was asked of me."
