France Kylian Mbape was taken to a hospital in Düsseldorf after
breaking his nose in France's 1-0 win over Austria at the European Championship in Germany on Monday.
After initially fearing their star striker would need surgery and could miss some or all of Euro 2024, France Football Federation president Philippe Diallo told ESPN's Julien Laurens that the team's medical staff determined Mbappé would be OK without an operation after undergoing new tests.
The Real Madrid striker left the hospital at 1 a.m. local time and is back with the team. Mbappé is having a custom mask made for him that he will need to wear when he returns to play and is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Netherlands.
He can play with a Batman mask on.
