France will face Belgium on Matchday 2 of the Nations League with Kylian Mbappé sidelined due to injury, according to France 24.

In Mbappé's absence, Ousmane Dembélé is set to serve as captain if he starts the match, stepping into a leadership role for Les Bleus in one of their more significant fixtures of the current Nations League campaign.

Mbappé, who typically anchors France's attack and often wears the captain's armband, has been a central figure for the national team in recent years. His absence creates an opportunity for other players, including Dembélé, to take on greater responsibility both on and off the pitch.

Dembélé has established himself as one of France's key attacking players in recent seasons, and being handed the captaincy for this match reflects his growing stature within the squad. The France coaching staff will be looking to his experience and leadership to help guide the team against a competitive Belgian side.

The match forms part of the Nations League group stage, with both France and Belgium looking to build on their campaigns as the competition progresses.
