Dusseldorf, 18 June 2024 – Bad news for the French national team competing a Euro 2024: Kylian Mbappe will miss the next matches – against the Netherlands and Poland – following a nose fracture obtained during yesterday’s match against Austria.
In the eighty-sixth minute, the captain of the Blue was hit by the shoulder of the Austrian defender Kevin Denso while trying to deflect the ball with your head. Bloody, Mbappé was medicated and then return to the field, just to collapse after a handful of seconds, which he remedied a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct. At the end of the match – won by the French 1-0 – the announcement: broken nose and operation required. “Apparently his nose is not well at all”, commented coach Deschamps.

At least that’s how it seemed: subsequent updates corrected the first ones and from what the French media reported it would seem that Mbappé will not go under the knife. This was confirmed by the president of the French Football Federation Philippe Diallo: “No operation, he’ll be fine”. In any case, the attacker spent a few hours atUniversity Hospital Dusseldorfeven finding the time to tweet ironically: “Ideas on some mask?”. In fact, if he manages to return to the field for the European Championships, he will be forced to wear one.
After some checks, the doctors deemed it sufficient some treatment and abstention from playing in the next national team matches, against Holland Friday and against Poland Tuesday 25. Absences which are also confirmed by the French media, with Le Figaro which does not rule out an operation in the next few days or weeks and a possible one flat rate to all of France’s other matches, should they qualify for the knockout stage.
