Martial withdrawn with injury in France win

Anthony Martial was replaced in the second half of France's 2-0 victory over Kazakhstan with a suspected knee injury.

However, it was a less productive second period for Martial, who unfortunately picked up an apparent injury after the break.

The attacker was holding his knee while receiving treatment and, although he did continue for a few minutes, was replaced just before the hour mark by Kylian Mbappe, who went on to miss a penalty for the world champions.

At present, there is no update on Martial's fitness, but make sure to check out our International Blog for any news that might arise on the situation.

Pogba was also taken off after around 60 minutes in Kazakhstan, in place of Juventus's Adrien Rabiot.

An own goal via Serhiy Malyi had doubled France's lead before the break, and it proved to be enough for Les Bleus, as they came away with three points and a first win in the World Cup qualification group stage.

Didier Deschamps men are next in action on Wednesday when they face Bosnia and Herzegovina.
