Kylian Mbappé's Injury and Recovery Process
Less than 48 hours after suffering a broken nose against Austria, Kylian Mbappé returned to the field for a training session on Wednesday. Despite training separately, the captain of the Blues, wearing a large bandage on his nose, was able to test himself on ball handling, acceleration over short distances, and some drills for shots on goal. During this session of just over thirty minutes, he was seen discussing with the coach, Didier Deschamps, and his assistant Guy Stéphan, likely sharing his first feelings about any discomfort or pain.
Mbappé to Miss Upcoming Matches
While this training session represents progress in Mbappé's recovery, pessimism remains about his participation in the next match of the Blues against the Netherlands. Officially, the Federation has considered his presence uncertain, adhering to the precautionary principle. According to the latest information, it is highly unlikely that any risk will be taken, and Mbappé will miss the two matches against the Netherlands and Poland, scheduled for Friday and next Tuesday. A final test will be carried out on Thursday afternoon in Leipzig, during match eve training, likely with the mask he will wear upon his return to competition.
- Kylian Mbappé suffered a broken nose during the second half of the Austria - France match this Monday in Düsseldorf. The captain of the French team was first taken care of by the medical staff and doctor Franck Le Gall, who diagnosed a broken nose. The diagnosis was confirmed during radiological examinations at the Düsseldorf hospital.
- Mbappé has returned to the base camp of the French team and will undergo treatment in the coming days, without undergoing surgery immediately. A mask will be made to allow the number 10 of the French team to consider resuming competition after a period devoted to treatment.
