This Monday, June 17, France made its debut in Euro 2024. In its first Group D match, the French faced Austria and won by the slimmest difference thanks to an own goal from Maximilian Wöber. However, there was a play that took all the spotlight and set off alarm bells within Les Bleus.
Within a minute, Kylian Mbappé disputed a high ball with the Austrian defense. The new Real Madrid player tried to finish a service with his head, but when it came time to connect the ball with his head, he ended up hitting Kevin Danso’s shoulder with his face with excessive force.
The result of this play was a hard impact on the nose. Mbappé bled after contact and his nose looked quite swollen. The French footballer immediately went to the grass with his hands on his face.
The duel was paused so that France’s medical staff could attend to their star.
The player was replaced by Olivier Giroud in the 90th minute.
What a blow Mbappé has taken on the nose 💔💔
Let’s hope it’s nothing 🙏🏻

So far it is unknown what type of injury the forward has and how serious it is, but it is inferred that he could have a broken nose. His participation in the duel against the Netherlands, next Friday, June 21, could be in danger.
