Kylian Mbappe to feature for France against Spain in World Cup semi-final

Kylian Mbappe is set to play for France in the World Cup semi-final against Spain in Dallas. Despite missing a portion of training, manager Didier Deschamps indicated that his absence was planned and not a cause for concern. Mbappe had previously been substituted late in the quarter-final against Morocco due to a minor ankle issue but has since reassured the team. Aurelien Tchouameni is also nearing full fitness and could participate in the match after a hamstring complaint. The match is part of a historic rivalry, as Spain defeated France in the semi-finals of Euro 2024.
