France national team: Didier Deschamps gives an update on Kylian Mbappé's fitness

France coach Didier Deschamps sought to reassure fans about the fitness of France star Kylian Mbappé at his latest press conference, following reports of a minor physical complaint the player had experienced in recent days.

"Kylian is fine, he took part normally in the last team training session. There's no reason to worry, he'll be 100% ready for tonight's match."

Mbappé's partial absences from some training sessions last week had worried French fans, especially with the semi-final against Spain approaching, but Deschamps' comments have fully eased those concerns.

France are relying heavily on Mbappé, joint top scorer of the tournament, to lead the attack in this special encounter, with suspense still surrounding the starting line-up Deschamps will select tonight.
