After declining to talk to the media following France's victory against Denmark, Kylian Mbappe is expected to be fined by FIFA.

The Paris Saint-Germain attacker, who was named Man of the Match in their Group D victory against Denmark, chose not to talk to the international media and may now face consequences for it.

Following France's 4-1 victory over Australia, Mbappe earned his first man of the match of the competition. However,  despite FIFA regulations requiring Man of the Match winners to address the media following the match, the 23-year-old did not.

After the win over Denmark, Mbappe repeated the offence despite being warned by both him and the French Football Federation (FFF) about what would happen if the forward did it again. As a result, both Mbappe and french football federation are set to share the fine that will be inflicted by FIFA.

It is thought that the reason why he has not chosen to speak to the media is due to the fact that he will most likely be asked about his future at PSG.
