France captain Kylian Mbappé is getting used to wearing his new protective mask ahead of a return to play at Euro 2024 against Poland today, his teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni said.
Mbappé sat out France’s 0-0 draw with the Netherlands on Friday after breaking his nose in the team›s opening 1-0 win over Austria and has been fitted with a protective mask as the injury heals.
“It’s no secret that he’s really looking forward to the next game, and as far as the mask is concerned, he’s starting to get used to it,” Tchouaméni said Sunday.
“Obviously he would have preferred to play without it, but I think if you ask the doctor, he’s not going to give him the choice. It’s not going to change anything for him, we know he’ll be ready as soon as he’s on the pitch, and he’s going to bring us a lot.” MDT/AP
