Austria vs France LIVE: Euro 2024 team news and updates in Group D match

Real Madrid have insisted Mbappe won’t be able to play in Paris:

“My club’s position was very clear, so from that moment on, I think I won’t be taking part in the Games,” said Mbappe.

“I understand that. I’m joining a new team in September, so it’s not the best way to start an adventure.

“Now I think I’m going to wish this French team all the best. I’m going to watch every game. I hope they’ll bring home the gold medal.”

Kick-off is just 30 minutes away now!

Here are the confirmed line-ups for today’s clash in Dusseldorf:

Austria: Pentz; Posch, Wober, Danso, Mwene; Laimer, Seiwald; Grillitsch, Sabitzer, Baumgartner; Gregoritsch

France: Maignan; Koundé, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernández; Griezmann, Kanté, Rabiot; Dembélé, Thuram, Mbappé

“With France we might have the strongest opponents of all right at the start [of the tournament]. They are the absolute favourites for the title, not only at this EURO, but also in two years at the World Cup.

“France surely must be the nation with the highest quality. Even if the starting XI are injured, the 11 substitutes are not much weaker. So the first match will be a huge challenge.

“Afterwards, we’ll see. We’ll only know our next opponents in March after the play-off games. And then the third match is against the Netherlands.

“If you want to get through that group, you’ll need at least four, but maybe even five or six points, and we’re aware of that situation.”

“William is one of the very best defenders in the Premier League. I want him to do what he does very well at Arsenal. He had a very, very good season.

“He played many matches, especially with his partner Gabriel, and they were a fundamental part of what Arsenal did this season, particularly in the defensive aspect.

“With us, he has not had the same playing time. There are automatisms which develop through playing matches together. You have repetition and understanding.

“With a national team, we always have so little time, but now they have the possibility of living together for a few weeks and that is even better.”

Will Saliba start tonight?
