France’s superstar Kylian Mbappé suffered a broken nose in the 1-0 win against Austria. An operation is not planned for the time being. The superstar seems to be taking it with humor.
France will play its second group match next Friday in Leipzig against the Netherlands. It was initially unclear whether Mbappé would be ready to play again by then. The striker himself apparently took the injury with humor. “Ideas for masks?” Mbappé wrote on X last night, accompanied by a smiley face.
The superstar suffered the injury shortly before the end of the match in Düsseldorf in a tackle when he hit Kevin Danso’s shoulder with full force with his nose during an attempted header. Mbappé had to be substituted with a heavily bleeding nose.
