The 25-year-old was helped off the field after receiving treatment, but he controversially decided to rejoin the game, prompting the referee to stop play as Austria looked to tie the score. After he sat down and grabbed his nose while entering the field, Didier Deschamps decided to replace Olivier Giroud with Mbappe.Keаne mаԀe tҺe fоllоwιng stаtement оn ιTV ιn respоnse tо Mbаppe’s cоntrоversιаl Ԁecιsιоn tо enԀ tҺe mаtcҺ: “Һe gets аn ιnjury, ιt’s frustrаtιng.” Һe Һаs оbvιоusly returneԀ tо tҺe fιelԀ tо Һаlt tҺe plаy.

“It’s clear he had treatment and recovered. Although I don’t mind that he returned to the game, I don’t like that he sat on the field after receiving a yellow card.”

Gary Neville offered his opinion: “To be fair, when he looks back, I think he’ll be disappointed, because I think he’s looked at Deschamps and Deschamps has gone ‘Get on’ and I think he’ll feel like he’s let himself down.”

Former England defender Matt Upson stated in an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live: “Mbappe has returned to the field without authorization; the referee will rightfully book him. That’s not something you can do! Was it suggested that he go back on? He simply turned around and sat down on the pitch while holding his nose. It appears that he has seriously injured his nose.”

Following the game, a worried Deschamps said, “We’ll see. It seems like the nose is not very good. It’s undoubtedly the evening’s low point. We find it irritating, even if it’s just his nose.”But relief did not come far behind. Mbappe was diagnosed with a fractured nose after being sent to the main hospital in Dusseldorf without delay. Fortunately, surgery was not necessary.

Positively, he might possibly return as early as Friday for France’s match in Leipzig against the Netherlands. Upon departing the hospital at roughly one in the morning, he joked on Twitter, asking, “Any ideas for masks”

The French Football Federation issued an update in response to these events, saying that Kylian Mbappe has returned to the French national team’s base camp. During the second half of Monday’s Austria-France match in Dusseldorf, Mbappe smashed his nose.”

The French medicаl stаff’s diаgnоsis wаs finаlly аcknоwledged, with аn explаnаtiоn thаt went like this: “The cаptаin оf Frаnce wаs treаted first by the medicаl stаff аnd Dr. Frаnck Le Gаll, whо diаgnоsed him with а nоse frаcture.”

“Mbappe will not have surgery anytime soon, but he will receive treatment in the coming days.” In order for the French national team’s number 10 to get ready for his comeback to competition following a time spent receiving treatment, a mask will be fashioned for him.”

Not only did Mbappe have a difficult evening, but Antoine Griezmann also sustained a cut on his forehead following a collision with Max Wober that pushed him into the advertising boards. Despite the defeats, Wober’s own goal gave France the lead and they won the first game of Group D.

Before halftime, Mbappe, the new captain of France, made a crucial cross that caused Wober to unintentionally head the ball into his own net. The star forward, who is expected to sign with Real Madrid, fired wide when it appeared like an easy goal in the second half, missing a fantastic opportunity to double the lead.
