On June 18, Beijing time, the group stage of the European Cup continued, and France played Austria in a focus match in Group D. After 90 minutes of fighting in the first and second half, the French team beat Austria 1-0 with the gift bag of the first player in the history of the Austrian competition.

In the opening match of the group stage, the favourites France won a victory, but the price was a little high. High-profile star Mbappe scored an own goal against Austria to give his team the lead. However, the good times did not last long, Mbappe was forced to leave the field in the closing stages of the game due to facial injuries, which made countless fans worried. Although the French team won the small score of 1-0 against Austria, Mbappe's injury undoubtedly became the focus of attention after the game.

France's journey to this European Championship is expected to be high, as the World Cup runners-up, they have rich experience in the big tournament and a strong squad. Mbappe's personal ability is an important weapon for the French team to impact the championship. However, his sudden injury has cast a shadow over the prospects of the French team, making the path to the title uncertain.

Mbappe's injury has touched the hearts of countless fans. France coach Deschamps revealed after the game that Mbappe's nose was broken and the situation was not optimistic. Medical expert Angel Martin pointed out that if the nasal fracture is serious, Mbappe may need to undergo surgery and the recovery period could be as long as two to three weeks. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the French team, which is in the crucial period of the European Cup.

Although the team's medical team did not give a final assessment of the injury, Mbappe will miss several games if he really needs to be sidelined for two weeks. This not only has an impact on the overall tactical layout of the French team, but also poses a challenge to Mbappe's personal competitive state. Before this, his performance in the European Cup has not reached the best, has not scored the first goal of the individual European Cup, with Mbappe's injury, the French leader's first goal of the European Cup, seems to become more out of reach.

France still have a tough schedule ahead of them, and every game is crucial to the path to qualification. At such a crucial time, Mbappe's absence makes it more difficult for France to organise their attack, and team-mates need to find new ways to fill the void. Mbappe's absence may also affect the morale and confidence of the team, which is not a small test for a championship team.

However, Mbappe's injury may give him more rest and adjustment time, and perhaps in the next games, we can see a new Mbappe, he will be expected to break the goal drought and contribute more to the French team.
