Didier Deschamps has provided fans with an update on Kylian Mbappe, stating he will undergo surgery after the tournament and that further assessments will be taking place on Wednesday.
Mbappe was forced off with the brutal injury during the latter stages of Les Bleus' 1-0 victory over Austria in their opening group game of the tournament on Monday night.
It came after a nasty collision with Austrian defender Kevin Danso, leading to genuine fears from the medical staff that Mbappe's Euro 2024 campaign could have been over.
The France Football Federation confirmed in the early hours of Tuesday morning that Mbappe would not require an immediate operation, but said he would require treatment 'for the next few days.'
Deschamps has now clarified that Mbappe will not undergo surgery during the tournament but that he will need to have an operation once he returns home from Euro 2024.
