However, it was soon clarified that the new Real Madrid player skipped team activities as a precaution and trained indoors on an individual program. Similar to Mbappe, Kingsley Coman also had a special training regime due to a mild virus that has been affecting the French squad in recent days. However, the French camp is confident that these players will be available for the upcoming matches. In addition to the aforementioned duo, Ibrahima Konate and Aurelien Tchouameni also weren’t fully fit and worked on individual exercises with the fitness coach. After their match against Austria in the group stage, France will also face the Netherlands and Poland until the end of the first round.EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP – GROUP STAGEFriday22.00: (1.30) Germany (5.20) Scotland (11.0)Saturday16.00: (3.20) Hungary (3.30) Switzerland (2.30)19.00: (1.90) Spain (3.50) Croatia (4.20)22.00: (1.42) Italy (4.30) Albania (8.50)Sunday 16.00: (5.70) Poland (3.80) Netherlands (1.63)19.00: (5.00) Slovenia (3.50) Denmark (1.75)22.00: (7.50) Serbia (4.40) England (1.50)***odds are subject to change***
