(Dan Tri) - French national team coach Didier Deschamps promises to use striker Kylian Mbappe in a few days, when France faces Poland at Euro 2024.
Highlight France 0-0 Netherlands
Striker Kylian Mbappe suffered a nose injury and had to sit out 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 to use Mbappe or not. Wearing a mask could affect his vision. Mbappe just had a very strong collision, he is more or less physically affected." Coach Deschamps may use Mbappe in the upcoming match against Poland (Photo: Reuters). "I also thought about the risks that Mbappe could face in the last match against the Netherlands. So, I think it's best to leave Mbappe on the bench," coach Didier Deschamps added. According to the French coach, the match against Poland on June 25 could be the right match for Mbappe to return to the field. Mbappe on the bench in the match against the Netherlands (Photo: Marca). Mr. Deschamps said: "I hope Mbappe will be healthier in the coming days. I will consider using Mbappe in the next match. To win matches, we need to score and need someone to score." "What I regret in the recent matches is that we missed quite a few opportunities. Missing the opportunity against the Netherlands made the French team unable to win. However, we are getting stronger, that is also very important," coach Deschamps affirmed. In the final match of the group stage, the French team only had to face Poland to be eliminated. As for coach Deschamps' team, with 4 points after a win (1-0 against Austria) and a draw (0-0 with the Netherlands), France is also almost assured of a ticket to the round of 16.
