SHOCKING NEWS; All about Mbappe’s injury in euros

A former MK Dons academy player has been making the headlines at Euro 2024 after inadvertently breaking Kylian Mbappe’s nose.

Austrian Kevin Danso put himself in the way of the French striker, who recently confirmed his summer move to Real Madrid, during his side’s narrow 1-0 defeat in the Championships on Monday night. But while he fought for the ball, Mbappe headed Danso’s back rather than the ball, breaking his nose in the process.

Danso joined the MK Dons academy at the age of nine. Having been born in Austria, his Ghanaian parents moved to Milton Keynes when he was six. He remained a part of the Dons youth fold until 2014 when he was 16, when he joined FC Augsberg in Germany.

No stranger to marking Mbappe, having done so against Paris Saint-Germain, Danso, who was making his 21st appearance for the Austrian national side, kept close tabs on the front man, so close as to leave the world-famous striker down in need of treatment after their clash.
