Kylian Mbappe To Continue Euros Without Surgery After Breaking Nose

France have confirmed that Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose during their match against Austria on Monday. Despite the injury, he will not require surgery. Les Bleus secured a 1-0 victory over Ralf Rangnick's team, thanks to an own goal by Max Wober, who inadvertently turned in Mbappe's cross.

The incident occurred when the France captain collided with Kevin Danso during an aerial challenge, resulting in Mbappe hitting his face on Danso's shoulder. After receiving extensive treatment, Mbappe was forced to leave the pitch in the final minute of normal time.

The French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed on Tuesday that Mbappe had broken his nose. He will need to wear a mask for the remainder of the Euros. However, no update has been provided regarding his availability for France's upcoming game against the Netherlands on Friday.

Mbappe has returned to the French team's base camp and will undergo treatment in the coming days. The FFF stated that surgery would not be immediately necessary.

Mbappe took to social media to share his thoughts on the injury. In a post on X, he humorously asked for suggestions for masks, showing his positive outlook despite the setback.
