'I don't look like a ninja turtle' - Marcus Thuram pokes fun at Kylian Mbappe ahead of France's Euro 2024 opener
Marcus Thuram aimed a subtle dig at Kylian Mbappe after a journalist accidentally got his name wrong.
Mbappe considered one of the most important players in the entire tournament, sustained the injury during a challenge for a header. He collided with the shoulder of Austrian defender Kevin Danso.
The impact forced his substitution near the end of the game, and he was then taken by ambulance for X-rays to determine the extent of the damage.
"Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose during the second half of the Austria v France match this Monday in Duesseldorf," a statement from the federation said.
"The captain of the French team was first taken care of by the medical staff and doctor Franck Le Gall, who diagnosed a broken nose. Diagnosis confirmed during radiological examinations at the Duesseldorf hospital.
