France vs Netherlands match facts
- Mbappe broke his nose when his face collided with Austria defender Kevin Danso's shoulder on Monday. Blood stained his white France jersey. If he plays on Friday, he will need to wear a mask, but it remains uncertain. Mbappe returned to light training on Wednesday.
- If he plays, the France captain will hope to score at a Euro Cup at the sixth attempt. He has 47 goals in 80 games for France, including 12 in qualifying for the Euros, but he is yet to score in five games at the continental tournament.
