France boss Didier Deschamps revealed that Kylian Mbappe is ready to take part in Tuesday's Euro 2024 Group D game against Poland.

The 25-year-old is recovering from a broken nose and will therefore be wearing a protective mask.

"The bruise has gone down a lot, he’s getting used to the mask. He wants to play and raring to go", said the France boss about the striker, as quoted by Tribal Football.

"We all know about Kylian’s qualities, and one of the reasons we weren’t able to hit the back of the net was maybe a lack of efficiency. 

“Maybe the fact Kylian will be here will help us score goals and win the game. It is a huge advantage to have him.”
