L’Equipe predicts Kylian Mbappe and Adrien Rabiot will return to the starting line-up for France in their opening Football Euro game.

The French are set to take on Austria in their first Euro 2024 Group D match on Monday. And L’Equipe has not missed out on the players who could be in the running for Les Bleus.UFABET 

Of interest is that Mbappe (knee injury), who missed France’s 0-0 draw with Canada will return. As will midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who missed both friendlies.

Another point to watch is the central defender position, with reports throughout the week suggesting that. William Saliba will be in the starting eleven due to his performance against Canada. And now a major French media outlet is confident that. The Arsenal defender is set to link up with Dayot Upamecano.

The rest are still the same core forwards, such as Antoine Griezmann, Theo Hernandez and Dusman Dembele. While Marcus Thuram is likely to get a chance before Olivier Giroud.

Of the players not ready to play, only Aurelien Chuameni has just returned to training. And now has to wait and see if he will be involved in the clash with the Netherlands.

Mbappé had tests at Düsseldorf hospital after the collision with Austria’s Kevin Danso on Monday. And Deschamps said his medical staff continue to monitor his condition. “Even if there is not surgery immediately. He will have to do it after the tournament.” the France manager said. “This morning [Wednesday] he was already a little better. So we will see. We will follow it closely every day.”
