After receiving first aid, Mbappe was able to stand up, walk on his own and leave the field

However, the player 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1998 also showed tricks when he secretly returned to the field to buy time without permission from referee Jesus Gil Manzano. This action caused the star wearing shirt number 10 to receive a yellow card. He then left the field to make way for senior Olivier Giroud

Mbappe had to get in an ambulance and go straight to the hospital for a scan to assess the severity of his injury

At the post-match meeting, coach Didier Deschamps revealed that Mbappe had a broken nose.
