Kylian Mbappé continues to give something to talk about. And it is that the French player He was seen this Thursday for the first time wearing the mask with which he hopes to play in the Euro 2024 matchesall to protect his nose, since last Monday he suffered a fractured septum.
It is not yet known whether Real Madrid’s new signing will be able to see action this Friday in what will be the second day of group stage competitions against the Netherlands, however on Thursday he revealed the appearance of the protection he will use in the competition.
The mask features the colours white, blue and red, which belong to the French flag, and are the predominant ones. On the left side you can see the number 10, which is the one the Frenchman wears on his back, and on the sides you can also see two stars, which are the titles that the “bleus” team has won in the World Cups of France 98 and Russia 2018.
In the centre, on a white background, stands out the classic rooster, which is the symbol of the French Football Federation, whose initials appear below. On the right side you can see the initials of the player KM. Without a doubt, a design studied to the millimetre.
In what was his first training session with this protection, Mbappé was somewhat uncomfortable. On several occasions he had to readjust it so that it would fit his face better.
Despite this, he had no problem completing the exercises that coach Didier Deschamps ordered him to do.
During the 15 minutes in which the press had access to the training session, the Frenchman did some rondo and completed running exercises.
For now, it seems that Mbappé will have opportunities to play against Ronald Koeman’s team. Deschamps, just before unveiling his mask, said in a press conference that he will do everything possible to make his star available. Everything points to him finally appearing in the eleven that will face the Netherlands, but until the last moment anything can happen in France’s lineup.
