Kylian Mbappe could be sanctioned by FIFA despite his terrific start for France at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Deschamps denies that Mbappe has 'big ego'

France coach Didier Deschamps had refused suggestions that Mbappe has a "big ego"

The tactician also confirmed his authority over both Mbappe and his team selection while defending the youngster against claims that he has an ego problem.

"His fitness is fine so we don't need to manage that, so you are saying we have to manage his ego?,” Deschamps told the media.

“What do you know about that? I know but you don't. Kylian doesn't have a big ego, that's not true. He's a key player but he's a team player. Of course, he's a star but he's not 18-years-old anymore, he's more experienced.”
