France coach Deschamps says Mbappé 100% fit for World Cup quarter‑final

French national team manager Didier Deschamps declared that forward Kylian Mbappé is fully ready for the upcoming World Cup knockout match, confirming the striker’s fitness despite being forced off in the 76th minute of the previous game against Morocco due to a right‑knee injury. Deschamps praised France’s overall performance, noting a strong defence that has conceded only one goal in six matches and emphasizing that the team will focus on controlling the ball and avoiding unnecessary pressure as they prepare for the next fixture.
