New Delhi: France captain Kylian Mbappe suffered a nose injury during his side’s win against Austria at the Merkur Spiel Arena, Dusseldorf in Euro 2024 on Tuesday. Mbappe had a collision with Austrian defender Kevin Danso and the striker fell to the ground with a bleeding nose.
The referee didn’t let Les Blues make any substitution immediately as France played with 10 men temporarily. The Real Madrid striker returned to the ground without permission from the fourth official and received a yellow card from the referee. He was replaced by Oliver Giroud in the 90th minute of the game.
Didier Deschamps said after the match that Mbappe is not doing well and his nose got badly injured “He’s not doing well. He’s with the medical staff. I cannot tell you anything else. His nose got badly hit. We need to check that out. It is just really unfortunate right now”.
‘Mbappe to receive treatment but will not undergo surgery’: French Football Federation

“Kylian Mbappé returns to the base camp of the French national team. Mbappé will receive treatment in the next few days, but he will not undergo surgery in the immediate future. A mask will be made for him so that the number 10 of the French national team can prepare for his return to the competition after a period dedicated to treatment”.
After the update from FFF, the star striker also tweeted from his X account saying “Any ideas for masks?”
