France captain Kylian Mbappé is preparing for a potential return to action at Euro 2024 against Poland on Tuesday, following a nose injury sustained in the team's opening match against Austria. Mbappé, who missed the 0-0 draw with the Netherlands, has been fitted with a protective mask as he continues to recover.
Teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni revealed that Mbappé is adapting to wearing the mask, despite his preference to play without it. Tchouaméni expressed confidence in Mbappé's readiness to perform once back on the field, emphasizing the striker's determination and impact on the team.
Looking ahead, Tchouaméni highlighted the need for France to improve its finishing, having scored only one goal in the first two group-stage matches. He emphasized the collective responsibility of all players, not just the strikers, in being more clinical in front of goal.
Following the European Championship, Mbappé and Tchouaméni are set to become club teammates at Real Madrid. The French squad is focused on enhancing their performance as they progress in the tournament, aiming to capitalize on the talent and depth within the team.
As Mbappé continues his recovery and prepares to rejoin the squad, France remains optimistic about their prospects in Euro 2024. Stay tuned for more updates on the team's progress and Mbappé's potential return to action.
