Paris St-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe suffered a "serious right ankle sprain" in his side's French Cup final victory over Saint-Etienne on Friday, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

Mbappe, 21, left the pitch in tears after being fouled by Saint-Etienne defender Loic Perrin in the first half.

PSG say the injury will be re-evaluated in 72 hours by a doctor, said the BBC report.

They face Lyon in the French League Cup final on 31 July and then Italian side Atalanta in the Champions League quarter-finals on 12 August, the report added.
