Kylian Mbappé will not start tonight, at 9:00 p.m., in the match between France and the Netherlands in the Euro Cup. The forward trained separately yesterday at the RB Arena, despite wearing a protective mask that could have allowed him to start. It is not yet known if he will have minutes, since the French Football Federation maintains secrecy until the last minute.
Mbappé suffered a broken nose on Monday against Austria, the main trigger for him not starting tonight. In the first instance he was ruled out for the match against the Netherlands, but his stubbornness to play would have raised a slim hope of seeing him in the starting eleven.. In line with the medical staff of the French team, Deschamps considers that it is very premature to field him in a significant match like tonight in Leipzig.
The French coach introduces a significant new addition to the eleven, Tchouameni. The Real Madrid midfielder, who has not competed since the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern on May 8, will play as a defensive pivot, while Rabiot, a midfielder, will fill the void left by Kylian Mbappé, playing the same role as Matuidi in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when he played on the wing as a formation midfielder.
Mbappé has not been able to arrive in full condition for France’s most important match in the group stage, the one that will determine its leadership and the one that could prevent the strong side of the draw from the final phase of the Euro Cup. ANDhe new Real Madrid player has pushed until the end, but without training rhythm with the mask, which in any case could not be tricolor, like the one he used this Thursday in the afternoon session Leipzig, the captain will start on the bench.
