Unexpected Injury in Opening Game
In an unfortunate turn of events, Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose during France’s opening game at Euro 2024. The incident occurred during Monday’s 1-0 victory over Austria, where the 25-year-old forward collided with Kevin Danso’s shoulder in an aerial challenge.
Immediate Medical Attention
Following the collision, Mbappe was taken to a hospital in Düsseldorf, where doctors confirmed the nose break. Despite the severity of the injury, the French Football Federation (FFF) has announced that immediate surgery will not be necessary. Instead, a protective mask will be made for the French captain.
Uncertain Participation Against the Netherlands
While Mbappe has returned to the French team’s base camp, his participation in the upcoming match against the Netherlands on Friday remains uncertain. The FFF has stated that he will undergo treatment in the coming days without undergoing immediate surgery.
The injury has undoubtedly brought a challenge for both Mbappe and the French team, but fans are hopeful for a quick recovery. The resilience and determination of the young forward have been evident throughout his career, and many are optimistic that he will bounce back stronger.
