Kylian Mbappe returns to France’s starting eleven in their Euro 2024 Group D match against Poland at Dortmund on Tuesday after breaking his nose in their opening match versus Austria.

He is one of two changes made by manager Didier Deschamps with Mbappe and forward Bradley Barcola coming in for Antoine Griezmann and Marcus Thuram.

France need to better the Netherlands result against Austria to finish top of the group, although they are already through to the round of 16 at least as a best third-placed team.

Eliminated with no points after two games, Poland will have their captain Robert Lewandowski making his first start at the tournament after fully recovering from an injury.

France: Mike Maignan, Jules Kounde, William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano, Theo Hernandez; Aurelien Tchouameni, N’Golo Kante, Adrien Rabiot; Ousmane Dembele, Kylian Mbappe (C), Bradley Barcola

Poland: Lukasz Skorupski; Pawel Dawidowicz, Jan Bednarek, Jakub Kiwior; Przemyslaw Frankowski, Sebastian Szymanski, Piotr Zielinski, Nicola Zalewski, Jakub Moder; Kacper Urbanski, Robert Lewandowski (C)
