[Saba Sports News] In the first round of the European Championship, France defeated Austria 1-0. However, Kylian Mbappe was injured and left the field during the game, later diagnosed with a broken nose following an X-ray examination at Dusseldorf Hospital. Mbappe has returned to the French national team base for treatment but will not undergo surgery immediately. French defender Jules Kounde commented, “I don’t know how serious his injury is, we have to wait until tomorrow to find out, but it is just a small setback on a successful night. Mbappe is a very important player and our captain.” France plans to have Mbappe return to action with a protective mask once his treatment is complete.
