Laurens: Mbappe Determined to Play Against Netherlands Despite Broken Nose
Kosport Magazine provides an update on Kylian Mbappe’s injury and his determination to play against Netherlands on Friday.
The star forward for France, Kylian Mbappe, suffered a broken nose during their opening match against Austria in the Euro 2024 tournament. Sources have confirmed to Kosport Magazine that he will be forced to miss the next game, but Mbappe is determined to make a quick recovery and play against Netherlands.
The French Football Federation has announced that Mbappe will not require surgery, which is great news for both the player and his team. He will, however, have to wear a custom-made mask when he returns to the field.
Mbappe had initially hoped to play in the next game, but sources have told Kosport Magazine that he will definitely be sidelined for the match against Netherlands. The French team does not want to take any risks with their star player, as they will need him for the rest of the tournament.
France coach Didier Deschamps has stated that Mbappe’s injury was a result of a big collision and the medical team has done everything possible to reduce the damage. Mbappe’s condition will continue to be monitored and he may be able to make a comeback for their game against Poland on June 25, depending on how his nose feels.
Despite Mbappe’s absence, France managed to secure a 1-0 victory against Austria in their first group stage match. This positive start for the team has given them hope of winning another major title after their victorious World Cup campaign in 2018.
Mbappe, who was taken to the hospital in Düsseldorf, Germany after the match, is already thinking about his return to the field. He took to social media to ask for suggestions for a mask that he could wear to protect his injured nose.
FFF president Philippe Diallo is also optimistic about Mbappe’s recovery and hopes that he will be able to make a comeback soon. He stated, “The news is rather reassuring. There won’t be an operation in the short term. It is premature to give a timetable for his return, but we will wait for the latest information from the doctor.”
Meanwhile, Austria defender Kevin Danso, who was involved in the collision with Mbappe, has sent a message of sympathy to the French forward. He hopes for a speedy recovery for Mbappe and apologizes for the unfortunate incident.
Kosport Magazine’s Take:
Despite suffering a broken nose, Mbappe’s determination to return to the field and help his team is admirable. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back in action soon. This incident has also served as a reminder of the physical nature of the game and the risks that players take every time they step onto the field. Let’s hope for a safe and exciting continuation of the Euro 2024 tournament.
