Mbappé suffered a tremendous blow, with a fracture :: Olé

Kylian Mbappé He had an enormously anguished ending during the match that France won 1-0 against Austria in Dusselford, in the debut of both teams for the European Championship. While trying to head, he hit his nose against an opponent, Kevin Danso. Quickly, the alarm spread to the entire Gala fans. The first press reports indicated that there was a fracture.

The information indicated that from the stadium he was transferred to the University Hospital to undergo surgery for the injury. A video of the player was even broadcast while he was entering an ambulance inside the stadium. Later, the surgical intervention was denied by the president of the French Federation, Phillippe Diallo: “There is no operation.”

Shortly after midnight in Europe, most French sites began to anticipate that Mbappé could play next Friday against the Netherlands, in the second group match. That would be with a protective mask, as footballers who had a similar diagnosis have played.

It all came about 39 minutes into the second half. There was a cross from the left of the world runners-up attack and the new Real Madrid forward, trying to head, hit his nose on the left shoulder of Kevin Danso, Austrian defender. The footballer fell to the floor and, when they treated him, he lost blood on his face. They took him off the field so France continued with one less. But Mbappé re-entered a rival attack and fell to the ground. Then, the Spanish referee Jesús Gil Manzano showed him yellow, for the obvious maneuver to take advantage.

After that, coach Didier Deschamps ordered the entry of Olivier Giroud instead of Mbappé. Then the coach warned that it was serious, both on the field and at the press conference. That increased the anguish, although the confirmation that Kylian will not undergo surgery was the best news in the midst of the commotion that was generated.

Mbappé’s first public expression was through social networks: “Any ideas for the masks?” This exposes the certainty that her continuity in the tournament will be with protection on her face. But the question that remains is when she will return. If he will play again in the group stage or playoffs and for that the official version of the Federation is expected.
