France manager Didier Deschamps said it was 'very bad news' for the team, who are set to take on the Netherlands in three days time.
France captain Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose late on in his side's Euro 2024 victory over Austria. The 25-year-old, who is one of the biggest names at the tournament, was left with a bloodied face and shirt after he collided with the shoulder of Austrian defender Kevin Danso while challenging for a header. It came after Mbappe set up the only goal of the game and squandered a great chance to make it two.
'Any ideas for masks?' Appearing to make light of the injury, Mbappe asked his 14 million X followers if they had: 'Any ideas for masks?' The FFF said wearing a mask will allow the player 'to consider resuming competition after a period devoted to treatment'. He is not believed to be undergoing immediate surgery. Elsewhere in the tournament, much-favoured Belgium experienced a disappointing start to their Euro 2024 campaign after losing 1-0 to lower-ranked Slovakia.
