France’s captain suffered the fracture late in the Group D clash with Austria in Duesseldorf yesterday, after jumping for a header and colliding with the shoulder of defender Kevin Danso. Mbappe was taken to hospital but the French federation said he did not require immediate surgery and will get a mask, prompting social media banter with France rugby skipper Antoine Dupont.Dupont had surgery after fracturing a cheek bone in the early stages of last year’s Rugby World Cup in France — a more serious injury that Mbappe’s nasal septum fracture — but the scrumhalf was back training within a fortnight and returned to play in the World Cup quarter-final.
