According to Sky Sports, Mbappe broke his nose after he collided with Austrian defender Kevin Danso while challenging for a header.

The 25-year-old was subsequently withdrawn and taken to the hospital, with France boss, Didier Deschamps, describing the injury as 'very bad.'

Going by the extent of the injury, the former Paris Saint-Germain star is expected to be sidelined for a couple of days, meaning he will miss France's next fixture against the Netherlands.

EX-boxer warns Mbappe

Jero Garcia has painted a bleak picture about Mbappe's Euro chances, with the former boxer warning that the football star is likely to endure major breathing complications.

Speaking via the Daily Express, Garcia, who broke his nose 15 times during his career, noted that fighters who suffer such injuries typically avoid any contact for "at least three weeks" during the healing process.

"It's clear, it's a broken bone with deviation. It's complicated. His nose is going to be congested for a few days. The recovery is going to be complicated,

" he said.

"The first thing is for the nose to go back in place. The more it gets inflamed, the worse it is going to be for you to breathe. It's going to be hard to breathe for a few days," he added.

Mbappe produces early miss

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Mbappe's search for a first European Championship goal getting prolonged after missing the best chance of the game between France and Austria.

The new Real Madrid signing placed his ball wide when left with only the goalkeeper to beat.
