The nose exams taken by Kylian Mbappé after his shock during the Blues' victory against Austria (1-0), which left him with a bloody nose, proved reassuring.

"That'll do it, no operation" : the captain of the & rsquo;France team Kylian Mbappé who had his nose broken during the France-Austria match at Euro-2024 this Monday, June 17, 2024, will not undergo surgery, told journalists the president of the French Football Federation (FFF) Philippe Diallo Monday evening in Düsseldorf.

Violent shock

The Blues star was injured when he violently hit the shoulder of Austrian defender Kevin Danso while trying to head a ball.

Broken nose

If the captain of the Blues does indeed have a broken nose, he will not be operated on for the moment, according to RMC Sport. The examinations carried out at the Düsseldorf hospital made it possible to rule out the hypothesis of the operation. Kylian Mbappé will even potentially be able to play this Friday against the Netherlands. Even if Didier Deschamps should choose to preserve it.

Mask to wear

The Blues striker will follow a classic treatment protocol. Kylian Mbappé will, however, have to wear a mask during the next matches.
