The injury occurred when Mbappé’s head collided with the shoulder of Austrian defender Kevin Danso, causing significant bleeding and swelling.
Despite the severity of the injury, Mbappé will not require immediate surgery. Instead, he will receive treatment over the next few days and will wear a protective mask to help him recover.
The French Football Federation (FFF) has confirmed that Mbappé will not undergo surgery in the immediate future and will instead focus on his recovery.

Although Mbappé could theoretically play against the Netherlands on Friday, it is considered highly unlikely that he will return to the pitch so soon. The FFF has stated that Mbappé will receive treatment and will not be cleared to play until he is fully recovered.
Mbappé, who has been a key player for France throughout the tournament, is expected to return for the final group stage game against Poland.
However, no final decision has been made yet, and the FFF will continue to monitor his progress before making a decision. The news is a relief for France, as initial concerns after their 1-0 win over Austria suggested that Mbappé might miss significant time.
