Mbappe was left covered in blood in gruesome scenes after his head made contact with the shoulder of Austria defender Kevin Danso as the duo competed at a late free-kick at the Dusseldorf Arena. Austria goalkeeper Patrick Pentz signalled for immediate medical assistance and Mbappe received lengthy treatment on the pitch, before walking off and then receiving a yellow card for coming back onto the field unauthorised and sitting on the turf in bizarre scenes to halt the game after France were unable to get a substitute on and had to temporarily play with 10 men.
