Didier Deschamps Says 'Wise Decision' To Keep Kylian Mbappe On Bench

Didier Deschamps said it was not worth the risk to rush Kylian Mbappe back for Friday's 0-0 draw against the Netherlands just days after he suffered a broken nose. Mbappe watched on from the bench as some wasteful finishing from Les Bleus meant they failed to guarantee their place in the last 16 of Euro 2024 with a game to spare. Deschamps conceded his decision may have been different for a knockout match, but is hopeful Mbappe can return for Tuesday's final group game against Poland.

Kylian Mbappe Sits Out Stalemate Between France And Netherlands

France and the Netherlands edged towards the last 16 of Euro 2024 after a 0-0 draw in Leipzig that failed to catch fire in the absence of Kylian Mbappe. The French captain sat out the whole match from the bench after breaking his nose in France's opening 1-0 win over Austria just four days ago. Xavi Simons had a goal controversially ruled out for the Dutch, while Antoine Griezmann wasted two glorious chances for France. A share of the spoils leaves the sides level on four points at the top of Group D, one ahead of Austria who beat Poland 3-1 earlier on Friday. France take on the Poles, while the Netherlands face Austria in the final games of the section on Tuesday.
