France captain Kylian Mbappe broke his nose in his team’s victory over Austria at Euro 2024 on Monday, which could hamper his ability to represent the national team until the end of the tournament, but not end his participation. .
France’s medical team quickly confirmed to national broadcaster TF1 that Mbappe’s nose was indeed broken and although L’Equipe reported Although the surgery was initially expected at the Dusseldorf University facility, the decision was made not to operate on the World Cup winner – for now.
“Kylian Mbappé broke his nose” confirmed the French Football Federation through a statement published by the French press overnight. “He is back in camp with the rest of the squad and will undergo treatment in the coming days, without undergoing immediate surgery.
“A mask will be constructed to allow the number 10 of the French team to consider resuming competition after a period of treatment,” added the FFF, of which Mbappe later sought to see the positive side, asking via social media for ideas for mask designs. masks.
Mbappe clashed with Austrian defender Kevin Danso in the 86th minute and came away with blood on his face and shirt, with medical staff quickly checking that his nose was badly damaged.
Austrian goalkeeper Patrick Pentz asked medical staff to pay attention to Mbappe moments after the incident and they worked on the player for several minutes.
Mbappe then tried to enter the field again, but fell to the ground shortly afterwards and was replaced in the 90th minute by veteran striker Olivier Giroud in his place.
France coach Didier Deschamps was brief in his post-match assessment of Mbappe’s injury but admitted it was one of the low points of the night.
“Kylian’s nose is not good at all,” said coach Didier Deschamps told TF1 moments after the final whistle. “We’ll see, but obviously it’s the biggest negative point tonight”
Before he was injured, Mbappe played a key role in France’s victory by forcing Maximilian Wober’s own goal in the 38th minute to ensure the Euros started on a winning note.
Mbappe is still expected to play an important role for France as they aim to win the Euros for the first time since 2000, but even if he is cleared for immediate return by the medical team, he could now face another problem in terms of his availability. .
In an attempt to return to the match, Mbappe re-entered the field without the referee’s permission and received a yellow card – players will be suspended for one game at the Euros if they receive two yellow cards, and yellow cards will not be eliminated until after the match. quarterfinals.
France resumes Euro 2024 on Friday, when they face the Netherlands in Leipzig, with first place in Group D at stake.
