France International star Kylian Mbappé faced a potential setback in a head collision leading to a broken nose during their match against Austria at the ongoing Euro2024. The incident caused a major scare as viewers were skeptical of his participation in the next feature.
However, after further medical evaluation, there’s an assurance that the France Star will potentially feature. Also, the severity of the collision will not require surgery intervention as he will be fit to play with the aid of a custom mask. Fans and football lovers anticipate Mbappé’s possible return as their next match will be crucial.
Injury and Medical Assessment on Kylian Mbappé
During the match, there was a collision involving Mbappé and Austria’s Kevin Danso, which resulted in Mbappe’s nose injury. Afterward, prompt medical attention was administered to the French forward and subsequently taken for a thorough examination at a hospital in Düsseldorf.
However, after a comprehensive test was carried out by medical staff, the initial fear of surgery was dispelled which concluded that Mbappé could manage without an operation.
Furthermore, the injury has raised concerns and doubts about Mbappé’s availability for their next feature against the Netherlands. His absence could be a potential loss for the French team, given his significant contribution and influence on their gameplay.
Kylian Mbappé Impact on France Victory
However, Mbappé was an influential figure and was involved in the build-up play leading to the own goal by Austrians Maximilian Wober in France’s 1-0 win against Austria. In an interview, manager Didier Deschamps said he was satisfied with the victory and the manner his team played. He also admitted that they could have won by a wider margin.
During the game, Mbappé demonstrated an impressive display, although, at one point, he missed an open shot at goal. This particular moment shows one of the few times he commits an error in his usual precise and accurate movements.
However, apart from the loss of Mbappé due to an injury, Kanté’s return to the team was undoubtedly a major boost to the French midfield especially in terms of control.
The Austrian Response & The Kylian Mbappé Effect
The Austrian fans first seemed to have doubts about the severity of the injury of Mbappé. Seeing it as a possible delay tactic, they booed him when he was being attended to by the medical team. However, Mbappé was disruptive enough for the Austrian team and contributed to France winning the match.
Positive Start but Mbappe’s Future Looms
After the win, Deschamps emphasized the importance of France having a strong start at the tournament. He further acknowledged the need for improvement while expressing satisfaction with the current result. However, as France prepares for their next fixtures, the focus will lie on capitalizing on their positive start while striving for greater efficiency in their upcoming matches.
As far as Mbappe is concerned, there are chances he might miss the remaining fixtures of France’s group games due to the nose injury.
Conclusion
Mbappé’s injury has caused doubt in his availability for the matches in Euro 2024. However, the fact that he passed his medical reveals hope of him featuring in the tournament again. As France prepares for their upcoming matches, the ability to adjust to possible lineup modifications is crucial so that the team can maintain competitive and consistent performances.
