Mbappe breaks his nose early and says goodbye to Euro 2024

Euro 2024: French star Kylian Mbappe breaks his nose but avoided the need for nasal surgery, with confirmed information that he will not be leaving the tournament early.

Recently, right after Kylian Mbappe was taken to a hospital in Düsseldorf following a broken nose in France’s 1-0 win over Austria at Euro last night, amid concerns that the star striker of the French national team would need surgery and could miss the rest of Euro 2024, French Football Federation president Philippe Diallo told ESPN reporter Julien Laurens that the team’s medical staff determined Mbappe would be fine without surgery after undergoing the latest thorough examinations.

The Real Madrid forward was discharged from the hospital at 1 a.m. (local time) and rejoined his teammates shortly after.

Currently, Mbappe is wearing a custom-designed mask that he will need to wear when he returns to play, and everything is fine. The 25-year-old striker will not miss any of the French national team’s matches at this year’s Euro.

This is likely to be extremely good news for French football fans at this time, as all the attention and prayers of the fans are focused on the condition of the 25-year-old star.

Previously, Mbappe collided with Austria’s Kevin Danso, and the new Real Madrid recruit appeared in significant pain as he lay curled up on the grass. Austrian goalkeeper Patrick Pentz immediately signaled for the medical team to intervene and take control of the situation.

Speaking about Mbappe’s condition at the post-match press conference: “He has a very bad nose,” coach Didier Deschamps said. “We will have to wait and see, the medical staff is addressing this issue. We will have to see what will be done and then how long it will take. It is very bad news for us tonight.”

“Clearly, the French team with or without Mbappe are two completely different things. I hope he can continue to compete with the team until the very end.”
