The article reports that French national team coach Didier Deschamps is expected to have both Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouameni available for the World Cup semi-final on Tuesday. Tchouameni, who missed the round of 16 and quarter-final matches due to an adductor injury, is likely to start if he regains full fitness, replacing Manu Koné. Mbappé, who was substituted in the quarter-final against Morocco after a blow to the ankle, is also expected to play. His substitution was described as precautionary, given his history of ankle injuries. The match will take place in Dallas against either Spain or Belgium. Mbappé's workload may be adjusted if pain recurs during training.
