France suffer double injury blow as Griezmann and Mbappe limp off in Austria friendly

France's Euro 2024 preparations have taken a hit after both Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe were forced off injured in a friendly match against Austria. The two stars both suffered freak injuries in the first half of the game. Griezmann went down after an awkward fall while challenging for a header, while Mbappe landed awkwardly on his ankle after attempting a shot. The extent of their injuries is currently unknown, but France will be hoping for a quick recovery for both players ahead of the tournament in Germany. The game itself ended in a 2-0 win for France, with goals from Randal Kolo Muani and Amine Gouiri. The victory extended France's unbeaten run to 13 games, but the injuries to Griezmann and Mbappe will be a cause for concern for manager Didier Deschamps.

Summary

"France's win over Austria was overshadowed by the injuries sustained by key players Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe. The extent of their injuries is yet to be determined, but both players will be hoping for a quick recovery ahead of Euro 2024."
