Kylian Mbappe scored twice as France beat struggling World Cup hosts Russia 3-1 in Saint Petersburg, with Paul Pogba shaking off his problems at club level by netting a superb free-kick. "We expect a lot from him (Pogba), I ask a lot from him," said France coach Didier Deschamps of the midfielder who has found himself out of favour under Jose Mourinho at Manchester United in recent weeks. "He was also playing a 'comeback' match, because it's been a while since he played a full game, it'll do him a lot of good."?? No Mohamed Salah in the Egypt starting lineup vs. Greece tonight.
