Netherlands vs France lineups: Starting XIs, confirmed team news, Mbappe injury latest

France star Kylian Mbappe is on the bench for tonight’s Euro 2024 clash with Netherlands.

A collision with Austria defender Kevin Danso in Les Bleus’ opening 1-0 win on Monday night left the Real Madrid-bound striker with a broken nose.

France have created a custom mask to enable Mbappe, 25, to return to action as soon as possible and he has avoided surgery, meaning the skipper could feature this evening off the bench.

Aurelien Tchouameni comes into the midfield as the only change, Antoine Griezmann takes the captain’s armband.

Wout Weghorst again misses out for the Dutch despite his goalscoring cameo in their opener against Poland. Jeremie Frimpong replaces Joey Veerman in the only change.
