Kylian Mbappe Suffers Broken Nose in France's Euro 2024 Victory
French Star's Injury Raises Concerns About His Availability for Upcoming Matches
Mbappe Will Not Undergo Surgery at This Time
DUSSELDORF, Germany - Kylian Mbappe suffered a fractured nose during France's 1-0 victory over Austria at Euro 2024 on Monday, the French Football Federation (FFF) has confirmed.
The injury occurred in a collision with Austrian goalkeeper Patrick Pentz in the first half of the match. Mbappe was forced to leave the field shortly after and was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
The FFF has stated that Mbappe will not undergo surgery at this time, but he will be monitored closely in the coming days. It is unclear how long he will be out of action, but it is possible that he could miss France's next match against Romania on Wednesday.
Mbappe's injury is a major blow to France, who are considered one of the favorites to win Euro 2024. The 24-year-old forward is one of the most dangerous players in the world and his absence would be a significant loss for the team.
France coach Didier Deschamps will now have to decide whether to make changes to his starting lineup for the match against Romania. If Mbappe is unable to play, it is likely that Olivier Giroud or Wissam Ben Yedder will take his place.
The news of Mbappe's injury has also sent shockwaves through the world of football. Many fans and experts have expressed concern about his availability for the rest of the tournament.
For now, though, the French Football Federation is remaining optimistic that Mbappe will be able to return to action soon.
