Kylian Mbappé taken to hospital following brutal nose injury in Euro 2024 match
France captain Kylian Mbappe was left covered in blood and was later taken to hospital after suffering a suspected broken nose during his country’s Euro 2024 opener against Austria - in what could be a major injury blow for the tournament favourites.
France’s 1-0 victory was overshadowed by Mbappe’s worrying facial injury in the closing stages of the match in Dusseldorf, with the star forward pictured leaving the stadium in an ambulance after the game.
Head coach described Mbappe’s injury as a “big negative” on the night - amid fears in the French camp that the World Cup golden boot winner could be ruled out of the rest of the Euros.
