France manager Didier Deschamps has downplayed the severity of the injury that Anthony Martial sustained during his side's 2-0 defeat to England.

The Manchester United striker was forced off with an ankle injury in the friendly international at Wembley Stadium, and was later seen leaving the ground on crutches.

However, Deschamps has since described the injury as "just a knock", suggesting that Martial is unlikely to be sidelined.

"He was in quite a bit of pain after the match," Deschamps told reporters.

"He got a kick in the penalty area. I think it's just a knock rather than anything else to the top of his foot."

England won the match 2-0 courtesy of goals from Dele Alli and and Martial's United teammate Wayne Rooney.
