France stints with Canada, Mbappé on the field only 15'

World vice-champion France and number one favorite to win the European Championship did not go beyond a disappointing 0-0 in the friendly in Bordeaux against Canada, the last test before the debut at the European Championship.

Without Kylian Mbappé, on the field only in the final 15'due to a physical problem, the Gallettos strongly disappointed in attack: Giroud, Thuram and Griezmann failed to unlock the game, and not even the entrance in the final of the new Real Madrid striker shook France.

Mbappé è remained out initially due to a knee contusion suffered against Luxembourg, but he will be 100 percent for the debut game in Germany against Austria, assured coach Deschamps.

Other friendlies of note included Georgia’s 3-1 win over Montenegro, Kvaratskhelia also did well with an assist. Dry 4-0 victory of Calzona’s Slovakia against Wales.
