Mbappé is saved! Kylian avoids the operating room after his spectacular blow to the nose

MBAPPÉ COULD HAVE MISSED THE EURO

France started with a narrow victory against Austria in the European Cup (0-1) in a gray night for Kylian Mbappé. Real Madrid’s new ‘crack’ had a day to forget where he ended up with a broken nose and the risk of missing the rest of the tournament, even if the latest medical report indicated that the Bondy man would not need to go through the operating room to treat his septum.

The president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Philippe Diallo, announced the striker’s status to ‘RMC Sport’, which means he could be available, with a little luck, for a hypothetical round of 16 duel with the French. Defeat against the Netherlands and Poland would of course be inevitable, pending the official medical report from the FFF this Tuesday, since he would be absent for at least ten days.

Mbappé ended up with a warning and a broken nose against Austria

In the 86th minute, Mbappé was injured while contesting an aerial ball, hitting an opponent in the face. The collision caused a cut to his nose, but referee Jesús Gil Manzano did not signal an infraction.. On the contrary, he ended up reprimanding the French striker for entering the pitch without permission while receiving medical treatment. The “10” sacrificed the yellow card to prevent an Austrian counterattack, while France was outnumbered due to his injury.

As the bleeding continued, Didier Deschamps decided to bring in Olvier Giroud for the ’10’, with a double substitution in which Fofana also came in instead of Griezmann. The former FC Barcelona player had also suffered a previous cut which justified giving a huge advantage to his head. Kylian felt some discomfort in his right leg before the match. After the game,

Deschamps announced that the Bondy man had suffered a violent blow to the nasal septum, which is why he will have to play with a protective mask for the rest of the tournament if he manages to be released next week. Mbappé left the ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf by ambulance and there was immediate speculation that an operation would prevent him from participating in the Euros.
