On June 23, French national team coach Didier Deschamps addressed the media once again regarding Kylian Mbappé’s injury, stating that the situation is moving in a positive direction.
France will face Poland in their last group match at 0:00 on June 26. Previously, Mbappé sustained a facial injury during the game against Austria, causing him to miss the subsequent showdown against the Netherlands despite being fitted with a mask.
Deschamps, when discussing Mbappé’s fitness, said, “Will Mbappé start against Poland? You’ll know the answer then. Everything is progressing in the right direction. He has recovered from the initial impact, and the bruising is gradually improving. The mask has undergone some adjustments, but he will get used to it.”
Joining Deschamps at the press conference, Aurélien Tchouaméni also commented on Mbappé’s injury, stating, “I think Mbappé wants to play in the next match, and he’s getting accustomed to playing with the mask. He might prefer not wearing it, but the doctors don’t allow that! Anyway, whenever he’s on the pitch, he brings us assistance.”
