France superstar Kylian Mbappe will be available for the match against Austria

Amid speculation about Mbappe's health, he proved his fitness in the game against Canada. However, it was not enough for the win, goal.com reported.

France superstar Kylian Mbappe will be fit for the Euro opener against Austria on 17 June. Following rumours about his health, he appeared on the pitch in the friendly against Canada on Sunday night.

WHAT HAPPENED

Mbappe's absence from training on Saturday was merely a precautionary measure. Contrary to speculation that the 25-year-old striker is suffering from muscle problems, he actually has a back problem.

As a result, he missed Saturday's training session. Mbappe was included in the squad for Sunday night's final friendly in Bordeaux against Canada but came off the bench. He was replaced by former Gladbach player Markus Thuram in the 74th minute but could not prevent a goalless draw.

WHAT'S FURTHER

Mbappe is expected to be back on the pitch for the Euro opener against Austria on 17 June.

France's other group stage opponents are the Netherlands (21 June) and Poland (25 June). Mbappe and his team-mates will be based in Paderborn during the tournament.

MBAPPE FACTS

Mbappe has left Paris Saint-Germain and will move to Real Madrid on a free transfer next season, which was recently officially confirmed.

Mbappe scored 44 goals in 48 games for PSG last season. For the French national team, the new Real Madrid star scored 47 goals in 78 matches.

Most recently, Mbappe shone in a 3-0 friendly against Luxembourg with a goal and two assists. However, former PSG player Jerome Roten criticised that Mbappe is showing a different side in the national team compared to his performances at the club.
