Everton defender Lucas Digne was forced into an early exit in France's 2-2 draw with Portugal on Wednesday after sustaining an injury shortly after coming on for the world champions.
The full-back entered the game at the start of the second half in the Euro 2020 final Group F clash in Budapest, replacing Lucas Hernandez, but lasted only six minutes as he felt a problem around his right quadricep muscle.
It is unclear the extent of the injury and the 27-year-old is due to be assessed by the France medical team in the coming days.

Digne started the game well, cutting out Cristiano Ronaldo's ball into Bernardo Silva before setting France off on the attack.
However, following a challenge by Nélson Semedo in the 50th minute, Digne felt his injury take impact and left the field of play a minute later.
France drew with Portugal, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring two penalties, while Karim Benzema netted either side of the interval, including a penalty to make it 1-1.
Les Bleus will play in the round of 16 on Monday 28 June where they face Switzerland in Bucharest, while Portugal face Belgium.
