The captain of the France team, Kylian Mbappé, suffered a fractured nasal septum during the 1-0 victory over Austria in Dusseldorf. After the first medical examinations, It was determined that 10 would not be operated on and that he may be available for the next match against the Netherlands. However, Some specialists gave more details about the situation of the brand new Real Madrid player.
“The septum was clearly displaced. Even though it has recovered, it is still fragile. Complete healing is considered in six weeks”analyzed Dr. Jean-Pierre Paclet, former doctor of the French team in the 1990s and 2000s, during an interview with AFP.
Along the same lines, Paclet considered it “difficult” to precisely determine a return date, but pointed out two conditions: “The first is breathing and then the secondary phenomena that appear during the accident, i.e. the inflammation of the nose due to the hematoma and the bleeding that must stop.

For his part, Dr. Jacques Saboye, a plastic surgeon in Toulouse and member of the Association of Facial Surgeons, warned that “The problem is ventilation, since an athlete who is used to breathing through the nose cannot spend 90 minutes breathing through the mouth.“.
Lastly, he explained the importance of “Wearing a custom-made mask would shorten the return period, guaranteeing almost zero risk of aggravation of the injury“. That is the plan they have in the medical team of the French team, with the intention that Mbappé plays the rest of the Euro games.
