On June 19th, Mbappé sustained a broken nose during France’s 1-0 victory over Austria, leading to widespread speculation about his ability to continue in subsequent matches. The following day, French Football Federation (FFF) President Philippe Diard addressed the situation in a press conference.
Speaking about Mbappé’s condition, he said, “As you saw, Mbappé suffered a nasal injury yesterday. The current information is rather optimistic since there are no plans for surgery in the short term. Regarding his participation after the match, it’s too early to set a timeline. We returned to the team base late at night, and we will await updates from the medical staff. We’ll see how things evolve during the day, but the news is quite positive, especially as it rules out the possibility of him withdrawing from Euro 2024.”
According to the FFF’s official statement, Mbappé’s participation in the second match against the Netherlands remains uncertain, with new developments to be communicated in tomorrow’s press conference.
