Mbappe to wear mask at Euros 2024

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Kylian Mbappe had suffered a broken nose in the Austria-France match at the Euros tournament.

In a statement shared by renowned sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, the FFF confirmed that the injury occurred during the second half of the Austria-France game. The French team captain was immediately attended to by the medical staff and Dr Franck Le Gall, who diagnosed the fracture.

Mbappé will undergo treatment over the next few days, though surgery is not planned for the immediate future. To facilitate his recovery and return to play, a custom protective mask will be made for the star forward, allowing him to resume training and prepare for his comeback.
