Le Parisien said Mbappe will be in the starting lineup when France faces Poland at 11pm on June 25 (Hanoi time). The Real Madrid striker was given the go-ahead by coach Deschamps after training for two consecutive days without any problems.
Mbappe has just returned to competition after breaking his nose while playing for France in a friendly match against U21 Paderborn on June 22. He scored and assisted for France in the above training match.
France Football revealed that Mbappe is so eager to play for the national team at EURO 2024 that he is willing to take any risks to be able to play. Mbappe’s speed of recovery after the nose problem in the match against Austria surprised many French team medical experts.
In fact, France does not need to field their strongest squad when facing Poland. Robert Lewandowski and his teammates have no chance of advancing to EURO 2024.
Therefore, the match against France is just a formality for Poland. France is almost certain to reach the round of 16, but coach Deschamps still wants his team to win the top spot in the group.
To do this, France need to score many goals against Poland. This could be the reason why the French coach uses Mbappe.
Previously, Real Madrid’s board of directors expressed concern about Mbappe’s refusal to undergo nose surgery to continue playing at EURO 2024. The striker born in 1998 decided to only undergo surgery after EURO 2024 ended. He accepted the risk to be able to contribute to the flag.
