France currently shares the top spot in their group with the Netherlands, both teams having secured one victory and one draw. As they prepare to face Poland, Les Bleus are aiming for a victory that could propel them to the top of the group, ensuring a more favourable draw in the round of 16.

Mbappe returns to training

On a more positive note for France, star forward Kylian Mbappe participated in the training session, wearing a protective mask following a broken nose.

The 25-year-old missed the previous match against the Netherlands but is eager to contribute to the team's success against Poland. Mbappe's return could provide a significant boost to France's attacking options, offering hope to fans despite the uncertainty surrounding Camavinga's participation.

The next 48 hours will be crucial as France's medical team evaluates Camavinga's condition and decides whether he can be part of the squad for the decisive match against Poland.
