He will need to wear a protective mask over his nose when he returns to action but he trained on Sunday at the French team's base in Paderborn and his teammates are optimistic of having their captain back against the Poles. It was Mbappe whose cross was headed in by Woeber for France's only goal so far at the Euros and he is by a long way the biggest attacking threat available to coach Didier Deschamps.
"It is frustrating but nothing to be alarmed about," Griezmann said after the Netherlands game in reference to his own missed chances. "Obviously we will need to score goals if we are to win matches. That will make things a little easier, but we are not having doubts about that. Poland's veteran striker Robert Lewandowski, now 35, will hope to start after returning from injury as a substitute against Austria.
