France secured a 1-0 victory over Austria in their UEFA 2024 opener on Monday, June 17, but not without a hiccup.

French star Kylian Mbappe collided with Austrian center-back Kevin Danso in the closing minutes of their match at the Düsseldorf Arena in Germany.

Mbappe was left bleeding heavily from his nose after the incident, reportedly sustaining a broken nose, according to Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Despite initial concerns, the 25-year-old is not expected to undergo surgery for the injury.

The future Real Madrid star was further aggrieved when he received a yellow card for reentering the pitch without permission after initially receiving treatment for the injury.

The French national team has yet to decide how to manage him for their two remaining group-stage games of the tournament.

Kylian Mbappe asks for fans' suggestions on mask

The French national team has yet to decide how to manage Mbappe for their two remaining group-stage games of the tournament, but the 2022 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner is willing to play through the pain.

Mbappe will likely wear a protective mask for the rest of UEFA Euro 2024, and he wasted no time preparing for the accessory.

"Any ideas for masks?," the outgoing Paris Saint-Germain forward asked his followers on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
