According to Spanish TV channel La Sexta reporter Jose Alvarez, in the semi-final match against France at the European Championship, Spanish central defender Aymeric Laporte may have suffered a deviated septum after taking a blow to his nose. He will undergo a medical check-up by the team’s medical staff post-game.
In this European Championship, the 30-year-old Laporte has been an absolute mainstay in Spain’s defensive line, starting as the central defender since the second round of the group stage. There is no further information yet on the specifics of Laporte’s injury, nor can it be confirmed if it will affect his participation in subsequent matches.
Worth noting, Kylian Mbappe, who was up against Laporte in this match, had previously also suffered a nasal injury and required a mask for protection until today’s game.
