Euro 2024: Kylian Mbappe breaks nose, hospitalized for emergency surgery

Les Bleus began their Euro 2024 campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Austria in Dusseldorf. An underperforming France team got a lucky goal in the 38th minute when Kylian Mbappe's cross caused defender Max Wober to fumble and head the ball back into the Austrian net.

France increased their attack throughout the rest of the match but could not score more goals, and also escaped many times from the fierce resistance of the Austrians. Despite winning the match, the French team is worried about the injury of captain Mbappe.

Austria attacked fiercely in search of an equalizer.

A very strong collision with Austrian defender Danso in the 85th minute left Mbappe clutching his face and lying on the ground for a long time. The French team's doctors tried to give him first aid, but his nose was still bleeding profusely, staining the French team captain's white jersey.

The medical team took a long time to take care of Mbappe and after regaining consciousness, he was eager to return to the field without waiting for the referee's orders, receiving a yellow card in the 90th minute before being substituted by coach Deschamps. Mbappe covered his face and nose and walked straight into the tunnel, suppressing the pain that was certainly not light.

Coach Didier Deschamps confirmed in his post-match interview that Mbappe had been rushed to hospital for surgery on his broken nose. The French public was immediately alarmed, with speculation swirling about whether Mbappe would be able to play in the next important match against the Netherlands on June 21 in Leipzig.
