France superstar Kylian Mbappé was removed from the pitch late in France's opening match of Euro 2024 due to an apparent face injury he sustained on a header attempt in the second half.
France superstar Kylian Mbappé suffered a broken nose as Les Bleus beat Austria 1-0 in their opening game of Euro 2024 on Monday, coach Didier Deschamps said. Mbappé will reportedly undergo surgery on his nose, which could throw his status for his team's upcoming Euro matches in doubt.
He was booked by the referee for reentering without permission and replaced by Olivier Giroud. Euro 2024 marks the 25-year-old Mbappé's first major international tournament as captain of Les Bleus. His departure became the first time a France captain had left a game in the history of the European Championship, per the FOX Sports broadcast.
