France have created a custom mask to enable Mbappe, 25, to return to action as soon as possible and he has avoided surgery, meaning the skipper could feature this evening off the bench.
Aurelien Tchouameni comes into the midfield as the only change, Antoine Griezmann takes the captain’s armband.
Wout Weghorst again misses out for the Dutch despite his goalscoring cameo in their opener against Poland. Jeremie Frimpong replaces Joey Veerman in the only change.
