00:00A blue, white and red mask on his face, the football prodigy Kylian Mbappé joined the
00:05French team training with an unusual attire on Thursday.
00:09The forage, involved in the game's only goal as France beat Austria 1-0 on Monday, sustained
00:14a nose injury in a collision with a defender on the field in Dusseldorf.
00:17After lengthy treatment on the pitch, he was sobbed off and examined by medical staff
00:38who diagnosed him with a nose fracture.
00:40He's currently receiving treatment and shouldn't undergo surgery in the immediate future.
00:45France is set to play Netherlands on Friday and it's still unclear whether Mbappé will
00:50be on the field.
01:07Olivier Giroud and Randall Colomuani are some of the most likely replacements for Mbappé.
01:13But with or without the star player, its opponents say the French team remains a force to be
01:17reckoned with.
01:33The tournament is still in the knockout stages and France still has a long way to go to repeat
01:38its performance from 2000, the last time the team won the Euro.
