The soap opera over Kylian Mbappé's nose injury has only just begun. Meanwhile, the last four Euro teams have entered the competition.

The captain of the France team Kylian Mbappé, victim of a broken nose Monday during the Blues' first match at Euro-2024 against Austria (1-0), "remains uncertain " for Friday's match against the Netherlands, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced on Tuesday.

A new point, Wednesday, for Mbappé

"A new point will be made tomorrow (Wednesday)", continued the FFF. The French striker was injured at the end of the match Monday evening in Düsseldorf in a clash with Austrian defender Kevin Danso. After violently hitting the shoulder of the Lens player while trying to head a ball, the Blues superstar found himself on the ground.

He then underwent "radiological examinations" at the Düsseldorf hospital who confirmed a broken nose not requiring an operation at this stage, before returning to the base camp of the French team near Paderborn (North Rhine- Westphalia).

Turkey wins thanks to two superb goals

Turkey beat Georgia 3-1 on Tuesday to enter Euro-2024. In a rhythmic and open match, the Turks scored two superb goals, first by Mert Müldür (1-0, 25th), author of a powerful volley from outside the surface, then by Arda Güler (2-1, 65th), who curled a left shot from around twenty meters to place the ball in the opposite corner.

The Georgians responded with Georges Mikautadze (1-1, 32nd), who slipped a dry recovery on the closed side between the goalkeeper and his post in a mouse hole. Kerem Akturkoglu scored in the last second of the match (3-1, 90th+7) while the Georgian goalkeeper had deserted his goal to try his luck on a corner in the Turkish area.

Portugal in stoppage time

Portugal, dominant but imprecise, struggled to overcome the Czech Republic 2 to 1 for its entry into Group F of the Euro on Tuesday evening in Leipzig. Lukás Provod, with a powerful strike into the top corner, opened the scoring for the Czechs against the run of play, shortly after the hour mark (62nd).

Portugal equalized seven minutes later with an own goal from defender Robin Hranac before Francisco Conceiçao, who had just come on, offered a logical victory to Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates in added time ( 90+2).
