Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose during France’s opening game at Euro 2024 but will not need immediate surgery.
The French Football Federation said a mask will be made for their captain, but it is not yet known if he will play against the Netherlands on Friday.
The 25-year-old forward was forced off during Monday’s 1-0 win over Austria after his face hit opponent Kevin Danso’s shoulder in the follow-through from an aerial challenge.
He was taken to Dusseldorf hospital where the break was confirmed.
Following the collision, France wanted to replace Mbappe with Olivier Giroud but play restarted without allowing them to make their change.
Mbappe went back on to the pitch without permission and sat down – picking up a yellow card – before the substitution was made.
In the post-match news conference, boss Didier Deschamps said their number 10 was not doing well and added his nose got badly hit.
Mbappe, who has scored 47 goals in 80 appearances for France, will be integral to their hopes of winning a third European title.
