Mbappe 'unconvinced by Giroud's apology' for criticising him after the Bulgaria win, with boss Deschamps 'telling his side to "move on"' as the rift threatens to disrupt their Euro 2020 campaign

Kylian Mbappe has reportedly rejected Olivier Giroud's apology after the Chelsea striker criticsed his performance in France's 3-0 win over Bulgaria.

Giroud came off the bench to score twice in the final 10 minutes of the match. However, in his post-match interview, the striker aired his frustrations over the number of passes he received from his team-mates.

According to RMC Sport, Mbappe was so livid at Giroud's comments that he wanted to give a press conference on the matter but this was rejected by Didier Deschamps. The outlet also claim Giroud attempted to clear things up with Mbappe in Thursday's training session but that the Paris Saint-Germain star remained hostile.
