In a recent interview, Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman clarified that he is not concerned with Kylian Mbappe’s injury situation. The French forward sustained a nose injury during the match against Austria, reportedly with a fracture. Speculation arose about his potential absence from the remaining group stage matches. However, Mbappe was later seen training with a mask on, suggesting he could still participate in the crucial encounter against the Dutch.
Koeman stated, “As a team, we watched the game, but I don’t pay attention to any news about Mbappe. I don’t entertain rumors – some say he’ll be out, others claim he’ll play.” He added, “We’ll only know their lineup an hour before the game, and then we’ll make our plans accordingly. Winning the first match gave us a boost, but we’re fully aware of France’s strength. We must give our all.”
