France star Kylian Mbappé is "very unlikely" to take the pitch Friday against the Netherlands in his team's next Euro 2024 fixture, according to ESPN's Julien Laurens.

Mbappé was subbed off in the 90th minute of Monday's 1-0 win over Austria after suffering a broken nose.

"France do not want to take any risks with Mbappé given he will be needed for the rest of the tournament, meaning he is unlikely to play any part in Friday's game and instead return against Poland on June 25 should he be needed," Laurens reported.
