French superstar Kylian Mbappé will not need surgery for his broken nose despite initial fears, France Football Federation president Philippe Diallo told ESPN's Julien Laurens.

He is reportedly considered questionable for the team's upcoming match against the Netherlands on Friday.

Mbappé was subbed out of his country's 1-0 win over Austria at the Euros on Monday after suffering the injury following a collision on a header attempt.

After heading to the hospital with initial reports he would require surgery, Fabrizio Romano reported he will avoid any procedure.
