Kylian Mbappé: France coach hopeful star can face Netherlands

LEIPZIG, Germany -- France coach Didier Deschamps says he assumes Kylian Mbappé will be available for the Euro 2024 clash against the Netherlands on Friday.

"Everything is going well, after the shock we had. He was able to take part is some light exercises yesterday and that will be the same this evening. Everything is evolving in the right direction," Deschamps said Thursday. "We'll do all we can to ensure that he'll be available tomorrow."

Mbappé broke his nose in France's opening 1-0 win over Austria on Monday when his face collided with Austria defender Kevin Danso's shoulder.
