Despite Kylian Mbappe’s three goals in two World Cup games for France, FIFA may now punish him for his actions during matches against Denmark and Australia.
Kylian Mbappe has so far made an impression at the World Cup. France has already advanced for the final stages of the competition thanks in large part to the PSG superstar, who has three goals in two games at the tournament in Qatar.
Prior to scoring twice in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Denmark, the 23-year-old scored in France’s 4-1 victory over Australia. Four minutes from the end, France’s close-range goal against Denmark gave them all three points and advanced Didier Deschamps’ team to the round of 16.

However, after refusing to talk to the media for the second straight World Cup game, reports broke on Sunday evening that Mbappe might face sanctions from FIFA.
The tricky attacker allegedly refused to stop and talk to reporters in the mixed zone following France’s matches against Australia and Denmark. That indicates, in accordance with the report, that FIFA would impose a sanction against him and the French Football Federation (FFF).
The FFF was advised not to repeat the mistake after Mbappe declined to speak to the media following France’s opening World Cup game.
According to reports, Mbappe and France are both aware of speculation regarding the superstar’s future at PSG, and if the 23-year-old were to talk to media, he would probably be questioned on that specific topic.
That would help to explain why Mbappe has yet to show up at a news conference during France’s visit to Qatar. The future of Mbappe has been a topic of discussion for some time, and Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Liverpool are three teams that are rumored to be interested in signing the former AS Monaco player.
According to the report, Mbappe and the FFF are anticipated to split the cost of any fines imposed. It’s quite improbable that FIFA would prohibit the France international from playing, but if it did, it may have an effect on England since, depending on how both England and France do in their separate groups, they might meet in the quarterfinals.
