Kylian Mbappe missed out France's last Euro 2024 match against the Netherlands after breaking his nose in the first match against Austria.

Mbappe, one of the best players of the current France team, will be hoping to make a swift return as Les Bleus take on Poland in their final group-stage match. He was sidelined for the last match after sustaining a broken nose following a collision.

And it is positive news for France fans as Kylian Mbappe could make a return for France's final Euro 2024 group match against Poland, according to manager Didier Deschamps.

Despite missing the goalless draw against the Netherlands, Mbappe has resumed full training and scored twice in a recent friendly match. France's progression to the knockout stages is not yet confirmed, but they will advance if they avoid defeat against Poland.

Deschamps revealed that Mbappe is eager to play and has been adjusting to wearing a protective mask during training sessions.

"He wants to play, he's raring to go. He wanted to play against the Netherlands, and he wants to play tomorrow," Deschamps said ahead of France's match against Austria.

Mbappe was seen wearing a mask in the France training and Deschamps says the mask has altered Mbappe's vision while playing, but asserts the forward will have to get use to it.

"Mbappe has no problems with breathing but the way he sees, yes. For those who play with a mask, it's not a constraint, but it does limit your vision. He wears it because he needs to protect his face in certain incidents that could occur. There will be contact regardless of where you play, whenever you have those one-vs-ones. Obviously, yes, it's maybe hindering, but it'll be something he'll get used to. It's like wearing those 3D glasses. We have as thin a mask as possible," the France manager added.

France has already advanced to the knockouts and that means Deschamps may not risk Mbappe today and give him a few more days to recover ahead of the Round of 16 match.
