Kylian Mbappé could miss the rest of the Euro 2024 group stage but France are optimistic about the severity of their captain’s broken nose after early indications suggested he does not require surgery. France will continue to monitor his condition over the next 48 hours.
The French Football Federation is sourcing a tailor-made mask for Mbappé, and while he is expected to miss the game against the Netherlands in Leipzig on Friday, the federation is upbeat about the forward’s diagnosis. France play Poland in Dortmund in their final Group D match next Tuesday.
