Hard blow for the Blues.

Kylian Mbappé must withdraw from the match against Portugal this Saturday night in Lisbon.

The striker of the France team, injured in a thigh for several days, does not appear in the list of 23 players selected by Didier Deschamps and published by UEFA a few hours before the match.

The management of the France team has not yet confirmed or denied Mbappé's package.

Friday evening, in a press conference, Didier Deschamps had indicated that Mbappé was going to train separately during the first part of the session which would take place just after, and that a medical point would be made on Saturday morning.

We must believe the PSG player, already absent against Finland on Wednesday night, is still too fair.

Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Kingsely Coman should lead the Blues' attack in this decisive match for first place in Group 3 of the Nations League.
