French superstar Kylian Mbappe suffered a broken nose after a collision with Austria's Kevin Danso. He was later subbed off and was taken to the hospital to determine his condition. The initial tests revealed that there would be no need for surgery at this point and Mbappe will need to wear a mask from now on. The national team will continue to monitor his condition for the next few days, which means that he will most likely miss the second match against the Netherlands.
How the Odds Have Changed
Mbappe's injury has had a ripple effect on the odds of many markets, starting with the 1X2 prices on the Netherlands vs France clash. While France originally paid 1.90 to beat the Dutch, the price rose to 2.25. In addition, we have noticed that the prices of France winning the group have also increased.
Moreover, Mbappe's possible absence for two more matches, if not more, has altered the odds on antepost options, such as the tournament's goalscorer and the player of the tournament. Mbappe was a frontrunner for both but now has fallen behind Bellingham (5.00) on the Golden Ball odds, as well as Kane and Ronaldo on the Golden Boot odds.
You can expect similar fluctuations in all of the player markets as the European championship continues, especially if Mbappe keeps missing games. While a bit risky since his condition is shrouded in uncertainty, you should pick other players to win all the notable awards. The earlier you do so, the higher the odds.
