Kylian Mbappé, 25, was rushed to the hospital after sustaining a broken nose during France’s 1-0 victory over Austria in their Euro 2024 opener. The incident occurred late in the game when Mbappé mistimed a header and collided with Austrian defender Kevin Danso’s shoulder, leaving him covered in blood.
Mbappé will wear a protective mask for the remainder of the tournament. The French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed the injury and announced that he would not require immediate surgery. Despite the injury, Mbappé appeared in good spirits, humorously asking for “Any ideas for masks?” on social media. The injury led to a bizarre sequence where Mbappé, after receiving treatment, re-entered the pitch without permission and was subsequently booked. Roy Keane and Gary Neville criticized his actions, while fans sympathized with the severity of his injury.
Mbappé was substituted in the 90th minute, replaced by Olivier Giroud. Despite missing a key scoring opportunity, Mbappé’s injury did not affect the outcome, with France securing a narrow victory. Manager Didier Deschamps acknowledged the injury’s impact but remained focused on the team’s success.
