Kylian Mbappe received a strange yellow card after being taken off the field due to a possible broken nose during Euro 2024.
Kylian Mbappe, the star forward for France, suffered a suspected broken nose during their Euro 2024 opener against Austria. In the closing stages of the match, the 25-year-old collided with Kevin Danso’s shoulder, resulting in a bloody nose and forcing him off the pitch. Despite being unable to continue, Mbappe managed to pick up a yellow card as he was taken off.
To make matters worse, referee Jesus Gil Manzano did not allow France to make immediate substitutions, leaving them with only 10 players while defending their 1-0 lead. However, Mbappe took matters into his own hands by re-entering the pitch and sitting down. Although he received a yellow card for this action, it allowed France manager Didier Deschamps to make the necessary substitutions and restore the team to full strength.
Despite the setback, France managed to hold on and secure a 1-0 victory in Group D. The extent of Mbappe’s facial injury is still unknown, and further updates will be provided in due course.
