(Leipzig) France head coach Didier Deschamps said he considers Kylian Mbappé to be available for the match against the Netherlands at the European Men’s Soccer Championship on Friday.

“Everything is fine, after the shock we suffered. He (Mbappé) took part in light exercises yesterday (Wednesday), and it will be the same this evening. Everything is progressing in the right direction, Deschamps explained Thursday. We will do everything in our power to make it available tomorrow. »

Mbappé fractured his nose in France’s 1-0 win over Austria on Monday, after his face came into contact with the shoulder of Austrian Kevin Danso. Blood stained his white France sweater. If he plays, it will be with a mask.

“Kylian will wear a mask,” Deschamps admitted to journalists. We don’t have to know the details of this mask. I believe you have enough moles to know where the mask came from. »
