(Dan Tri Newspaper) - France national team coach Didier Deschamps has promised to use striker Kylian Mbappe in a few days, when France faces Poland at Euro 2024.
Highlights France 0-0 Netherlands
Striker Kylian Mbappe suffered a nose injury and was sidelined for France's 0-0 draw with the Netherlands this morning (June 22). Regarding the decision to bench Mbappe, France coach Didier Deschamps said: "I thought a lot about whether or not to use Mbappe. Wearing a mask could affect his vision. Mbappe just suffered a very strong collision, and his fitness is somewhat affected." Coach Deschamps may use Mbappe in the upcoming match against Poland (Photo: Reuters). "I also considered the risks Mbappe might face playing in the recent match against the Netherlands. Therefore, I think it's best to keep Mbappe on the bench," added coach Didier Deschamps. According to the French national team coach, the match against Poland on June 25th could be the appropriate game for Mbappe to return to the pitch.

To win matches, we need to score goals and we need goalscorers." "What I regret about the recent matches is that we missed quite a few opportunities. Missing the chance against the Netherlands prevented France from winning. However, we are stronger now, and that is also very important," Coach Deschamps affirmed. In the final group stage match, the French team only has to face Poland, who have already been eliminated. As for Coach Deschamps' team, with 4 points after a win (1-0 against Austria) and a draw (0-0 against the Netherlands), France is almost assured of a place in the Round of 16.
