A new report has revealed how many games Kylian Mbappe could miss at Euro 2024 following the injury he suffered against Austria.
France beat Austria 1-0 in their Euros opener on Monday.
Maximilian Wober headed into his own net from an Mbappe cross for the only goal of the Group D clash in Dusseldorf.

But the victory came at a price as Mbappe broke his nose following a collision with defender Kevin Danso.
He was forced off late on as he sent social media into overdrive with his post following the result.
France resume their Euro 2024 campaign on Friday when they face the Netherlands, who came from behind to beat Poland on Sunday.

And Didier Deschamps could be without his star man for their game against Ronald Koeman's team.
What's more, Mbappe may be unavailable for a 'fortnight', potentially ruling him out until the quarter-final stage.
That's according to RTL France via Get French Football News, who state that the 25-year-old is set to be out of action for around 15 days.
However, Le Figaro report that he will be back for the knockout stage.

On Mbappe's nose injury, Deschamps said: “He’s not doing well. He’s with the medical staff. I cannot tell you anything else.
"His nose got badly hit. We need to check that out. It is just really unfortunate right now."
Asked if Mbappe had been transported to hospital, he replied: "I don’t know. The medical staff is looking after him. I don’t have the evidence in my hands.

"The staff are checking him out. I saw him on the massage table. He didn’t get off lightly. It remains to be seen. But you know me, when I don’t have the facts I keep shtumm."
The Les Bleus boss added: “The national squad will always be stronger with Kylian. But if the news does not go along these lines we will have to fight without him. But Kylian is Kylian and every team is stronger with him in it.”
