Kylian Mbappe could miss the rest of France's Euro 2024 campaign as Real Madrid new boy is 'rushed to hospital for surgery' after suffering broken nose following brutal collision with Austria rival
Medics have suggested that Kylian Mbappe could be sidelined for at least ten days by surgery on a broken nose and possibly even longer – putting his Euro 2024 campaign in serious doubt.
Former France team doctor Fabrice Bryand told L’Equipe that the timeframe – which would mean no group stage participation for the new France captain – was ten days minimum. The French Football Federation confirmed on Monday night that the player, pictured leaving the stadium in an ambulance was undergoing surgery, thought to be at the University Hospital of Düsseldorf.
France coach Didier Deschamps said his new captain Mbappe ‘didn’t get off lightly’ after a collision with Austrian defender Kevin Danso later in the 1-0 win over Austria which seemed to have left him with a broken nose.
