France’s campaign-commencing victory in Euro 2024 against Austria on Monday, June 17 was marred by a suspected broken nose for Kylian Mbappe, the star footballer for the two-time Euro champions. Mbappe suffered a nasty nose injury and he was bleeding profusely before being taken off the field. According to French media, the star player and the captain, Mbappe, might miss a couple of games for France in the ongoing UEFA Euro Championship.
French manager Didier Deschamps, who registered his 100th win in the role, was hopeful of Mbappe’s quick return but admitted that the injury was really bad. “He’s not doing well. He’s with the medical staff. I cannot tell you anything else,” Deschamps said after France’s 1-0 win against Austria. “His nose got badly hit. We need to check that out. It is just really unfortunate right now.”
