Mbappé "Adapts" to His Mask
Kylian Mbappé, the French forward, "wants to play" despite suffering a nasal fracture a week ago, which kept him off the field during France's 0-0 draw against the Netherlands. He is currently "adapting to the mask" and remains a doubt for the starting lineup against Poland in the final Group D match of Euro 2024 on Tuesday.
"Will he be a starter against Poland? We'll see in due time," said Didier Deschamps, the French national team coach, in statements to 'Telefoot' this Sunday, ahead of the evening training session in Paderborn.
"Everything is moving in the right direction. The bruise decreases every day, and he is getting used to playing with the mask, which slightly affects his vision. He is doing well," Deschamps added, without revealing whether Mbappé will be ready to start the match.
Mbappé has rejoined team training and even participated in a match this Saturday against Paderborn's reserve team, where the substitutes from the game against the Netherlands played.
