France captain Kylian Mbappé wears tricolore mask in training after breaking nose at Euro 2024

Soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé was pictured wearing a French-inspired tricolore mask during a training session on Thursday, after the France captain broke his nose during the team’s opening Euro 2024 win against Austria three days ago. There had been fears the injury might rule Mbappé out of his nation’s second Group D match of Euro 2024 against the Netherlands on Friday, but France manager Didier Deschamps told reporters Thursday that the star should be available.

The 25-year-old inadvertently headbutted the shoulder of Austria defender Kevin Danso when challenging for the ball. The forward was eventually substituted off and was seen walking down the tunnel with a blood-stained jersey. The French Football Federation said Mbappé was then taken to a local hospital, where X-rays confirmed the break. Mbappé was involved in non-contact training on Wednesday, wearing plasters over his nose.
