Kylian Mbappé did indeed suffer a broken nose but will be able to play again with a mask.
What a night for Kylian Mbappé. Between missed opportunities and a mixed performance, the French captain also took a significant hit during an aerial duel with Austrian defender Kevin Danso. Fears were high as his nose appeared visibly displaced. The verdict: a confirmed nose fracture, but no surgery is needed for the French captain.
The French team provided reassurance overnight: « Kylian Mbappé has suffered a nose fracture. He has returned to the French team base and will receive treatment in the coming days without immediate surgical intervention. A mask will be made to allow the number 10 to resume competition after a recovery period. »
A few hours later, Kylian Mbappé joked on social media: « Any mask ideas? » he quipped on X, laughing. So, we can expect to see a masked KM for the rest of the Euro…
