France has confirmed that Kylian Mbappé will continue at Euro 2024 despite suffering a broken nose during their 1-0 win over Austria in Group D. The influential captain and attacking star endured the injury in a late-game collision with Austria’s Kevin Danso at the Dusseldorf Arena. Mbappé received extensive on-field medical attention and briefly left the pitch, returning to a yellow card for entering without authorization, causing a temporary disruption as France navigated a spell with ten players.
Mbappé was substituted for Olivier Giroud, and French manager Didier Deschamps later confirmed that he had sustained a broken nose. Mbappé was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance, where examinations concluded that surgery was unnecessary. He will receive specialized treatment in the coming days and will be fitted with a protective face mask before returning to play.
