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

France debuted with a narrow victory against Austria in the Euro Cup (0-1) on a gray night for Kylian Mbappé. The new 'crack' of Real Madrid had a day to forget in which he ended up with a broken nose and the risk of missing the rest of the tournament, although the latest medical report indicated that Bondy's man would not have to go through the operating room to treat his septum. 

The president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Philippe Diallo, announced the forward's status to 'RMC Sport', meaning he could be available, with luck, for a hypothetical round of 16 duel with the Frenchmen. The loss against the Netherlands and Poland, of course, would be inevitable, pending the official medical report from the FFF this Tuesday, as he would be out for at least ten days.

Mbappé ended up booked and with a broken nose against Austria

In the 86th minute, Mbappé hurt himself while contesting an aerial ball, colliding with his face against an opponent. The collision caused a cut on 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 field without permission while receiving medical assistance. The '10' sacrificed the yellow card to prevent an Austrian counterattack, with France outnumbered due to his injury.

As the bleeding continued, Didier Deschamps decided to put Olvier Giroud on for the '10', with a double substitution in which Fofana also entered for Griezmann. The former FC Barcelona player had also suffered a previous cut that warranted placing a huge advantage on his head. Kylian had some discomfort in his right leg before the game. After the match,

Deschamps announced that Bondy's man suffered a severe blow to his nasal septum, which is why he would have to play with a protective mask for the rest of the tournament if he manages to be discharged next week. Mbappé left the ESPRIT arena in Düsseldorf by ambulance and there was immediate speculation about an operation that would keep him out of the Euros.
