The French national team has taken a huge hit to the lineup. Kylian Mbappe won't play in their UEFA Nations League match against Croatia on Tuesday.

France announced Monday that Mbappe tested positive for the coronavirus and currently is in isolation. However, he's not experiencing any symptoms.

Mbappe featured in Saturday's 1-0 win over Sweden and scored the winning goal in the match.

The 21-year-old will likely miss fixtures for Paris Saint-Germain, who have matches against Lens on Thursday and Marseille on Sunday. He's not the only PSG player who will miss those matches, though. Several players have tested positive for the coronavirus recently, including Neymar, Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes.

PSG reached the Champions League final last month but were unable to seal their first European Cup as they suffered a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich.
