00:00As you saw, Kylian had this injury on his nose yesterday.

00:05The news was rather reassuring, as there is no short-term operation planned.

00:13Now, regarding his participation in the rest of the tournament, he is a little premature to give a calendar.

00:20So we will wait for the last information from the doctor this morning,

00:26because, as Raphael just said, everyone returned a little late last night.

00:31So we will wait during the day to see how it evolves.

00:35But I would say that, once again, the information was rather positive,

00:39especially in relation to the fact that he had an operation that could have permanently removed him from the tournament, which is not the case.

00:45I'm not a doctor, so I don't want to go too far,

00:50but I think there have been a number of examinations that have been done on site

00:55to see the condition of Kylian Mbappé's nose.

00:59They have drawn a number of fairly quick conclusions,

01:03and they have tried to limit the consequences of the fracture he could have,

01:12to limit the consequences for him and his participation in the tournament.

01:18As I said, there is no surgical intervention planned in the short term,

01:26and we are waiting for the latest developments that will take place during the day

01:31to see exactly the conditions of Kylian's participation in the rest of the tournament.
