The coveted tournament begins June 14, though France’s opening game is on June 18 as they take on Austria in the city of Dusseldorf.
Deschamps also dismissed concerns over Mbappe’s form, stating, “You don’t find Kylian Mbappé in good shape? He only scored 44 goals in the season. It’s true that he could have done better.”
Deschamps on Tchouameni’s fitness
As things stand, a total of three Real Madrid players are a part of the France squad for the European Championship.
One of them is Aurelien Tchouameni, who picked up a knock earlier this month which could keep him out of the upcoming Champions League final.
Deschamps, though, is not worried about his fitness and is hopeful of having the midfielder back for the Euros.
“Tchouaméni? I’m not worried. The deadline is too short for the UCL final but for the Euro it’s more than doable,” he said.
