France began their Euro 2024 campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Austria in Düsseldorf, thanks to an own goal by Maximilian Wöber. The Group D match, which kicked off at 8pm BST, saw France's star player, Kylian Mbappé, suffer a broken nose after a collision with Austrian defender Kevin Danso. Mbappé was taken to a Düsseldorf hospital for treatment and will avoid surgery, but he will need to wear a protective mask for the remainder of the tournament. The French Football Federation confirmed that Mbappé has returned to the team's base camp in Paderborn and will undergo treatment before potentially returning for France's next match against the Netherlands on Friday. France's coach, Didier Deschamps, expressed concern over Mbappé's condition.
