Kylian Mbappé might miss the rest of the Euro 2024 group stage after breaking his nose in France’s 1-0 win over Austria. Initial reports suggest he does not need surgery, and France is optimistic about his recovery.
A custom mask is being made for him, but he is expected to miss Friday’s match against the Netherlands. The French Football Federation (FFF) will monitor his condition closely over the next 48 hours.

Mbappé collided with Kevin Danso’s shoulder and was taken to a hospital. FFF president Philippe Diallo said the situation looks positive, and there is no immediate need for surgery. The forward might return for France’s final Group D match against Poland next Tuesday.
Danso apologized for the incident, and the Netherlands goalkeeper, Bart Verbruggen, stated that Mbappé’s absence won’t affect their preparations.
