France stars send COVID-19 support

FIFA World Cup champions France have sent support to hospital workers engaged in the fight against the novel coronavirus.

Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba were among the stars in a video released by the French football federation, expressing their gratitude to the country's under-pressure health workers. France has been severely hit by the virus, with more than 8,000 dead and about 100,000 known infections.

Mbappe says, "we sing and clap for you".
