Les Bleus striker suffered broken nose earlier in tournament
Kylian Mbappe may not be risked as France head for their final Euro 2024 group stage game against Poland.
The striker was seen wearing a protective mask after suffering a broken nose during his country’s opening win over Austria.
On a yellow card already after coming back on the pitch following his injury during that game in order to slow down proceedings, the Real Madrid-bound striker sat out of the draw with the Netherlands.
Marcus Thuram will likely continue up front alongside Antoine Griezmann and it would seem unlikely Didier Deschamps will make too many changes.
Poland, who have already been knocked out of the tournament, could welcome back Robert Lewandowski into the starting lineup.
The Barcelona forward missed their defeat to the Dutch before coming off the bench against the Austrians.

Krzysztof Piatek may then drop to the bench, while Bartosz Salamon is a doubt with an ankle injury.
