Euro 2024 : Is Kylian Mbappe Fit To Play For France Against Poland? Didier Deschamps Spills The Beans
France forward Kylian Mbappe is still recovering from his broken nose, and it remains uncertain whether he will play in Tuesday's final group game at the European Championship, according to coach Didier Deschamps.Deschamps remained tight-lipped on the French Telefoot television program on Sunday, not revealing if Mbappe would play against Poland in Dortmund. However, he provided reassuring updates on the recovery of his captain, who fractured his nose last Monday in their opener against Austria.“You will see [whether he plays or not], but everything is going in the right direction, he is recovering from the blow, the bruising is decreasing every day, and he will get used to his mask. He is doing well,” Deschamps said.After the 0-0 draw against the Netherlands in Leipzig on Friday, during which Mbappe remained on the bench, the French media have intensely scrutinized the team’s attacking capabilities, or their sudden decline.France's sole goal in their last three matches came from an own goal by Austria’s Maximilian Wober in their opening Group D match in Düsseldorf.However, Deschamps didn't say anything when questioned about potentially revitalizing the attack, particularly as France with four points, appear poised to secure a spot in the last 16.“I have planned a team which will ensure qualification and the best possible finish in the group. We will always hope to get a little more recovery [for some players]. You deduce from that what you want”, he said.During a press conference on Sunday, Mbappe’s teammate, Jonathan Clauss indicated that the 25-year-old forward was keen to play, especially after spending an hour on the field in a training scrimmage against a local academy team on Saturday.“When he was on the pitch, he was 100 percent at it. He is getting used to his mask, and he scored,” said the defender.
