France captain Kylian Mbappé, who suffered a broken nose in the ‘Bleus’ debut in the European Championship against Austria (1-0), “remains a doubt” for the game against the Netherlands in three days , informed the French Football Federation (FFF) this Tuesday (18).
“The shock was strong, the medical department did what they had to do to reduce the fracture as much as possible,” said coach Didier Deschamps in a video on the French team’s account on the X social network.

“Although this is not the time”, “surgical intervention” will be necessary, added Deschamps.
The striker was injured in the final stretch of the victory over the Austrians in Düsseldorf, when he collided with the shoulder of Austrian defender Kevin Danso in an attempted header.
Mbappé left the field with a bloody nose in the 41st minute of the second half and even received a yellow card for trying to return to the game without the referee’s consent, until he was replaced by Olivier Giroud.
