Kylian Mbappe has been rushed to a German hospital to have surgery on his broken nose. The French Federation has confirmed that their star striker was taken to the University Hospital of Dusseldorf in an ambulance.
France beat Austria 1-0 courtesy of a Maximilian Wober own goal in their opening match of Euro 2024.

The 25-year-old headed a cross in the Austria penalty area but his nose made contact with Kevin Danso’s shoulder on the followthrough.
