5. France show off Kylian Mbappe’s new custom mask to protect broken nose as Real Madrid superstar returns to action at Euro 2024
French football fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Kylian Mbappe sported a new custom mask during training on Thursday. The Real Madrid forward suffered a broken nose in the team’s opening Euro 2024 win over Austria, raising concerns about his participation in the rest of the tournament. The French Football Federation (FFF) previously confirmed Mbappe wouldn’t require surgery but would need a protective mask to return to action. This high-tech solution, pictured by the French team, offers hope that the star striker will be ready for France’s crucial clash against the Netherlands on Friday.
While the exact details of Mbappe’s mask haven’t been revealed, it appears lightweight and constructed to allow for maximum visibility and movement. This will be key for Mbappe’s explosive playing style, which relies heavily on his pace and agility. Didier Deschamps, the French coach, remained cautious after the Austria match, but Mbappe’s return to training is a positive sign. The goal-scoring machine’s presence would be a major boost for Les Bleus’ chances of achieving Euro 2024 glory.
