After breaking his nose at Euro 2024, France captain Kylian Mbappe has been sporting a protective helmet.
By removing the protective helmet he has worn since breaking his nose in his team's opening match of the game, France captain Kylian Mbappe surprised the crowd by leaving for his country's Euro 2024 semi-final against Spain.
The new Real Madrid sun slammed his head into the back of Austria defender Kevin Danso in Les Bleus ' starting Group D match and was forced to sit out the goalless draw with the Netherlands before returning to activity with a face to protect the damage, which may require surgery following the tournament.
Mbappe has so far fallen short of expectations after only scoring again from the penalty area in Germany, with coach Didier Deschamps revealing that he has been "lightly off his sport."
The player himself asked to be substituted in extra-time of the penalty fight win over Portugal, immediately after a game struck him in the face, evidently causing him problems, as he immediately applied an ice pack to his head on the bench.
" We are convinced Kylian is in the right headspace, as are all of our players", Deschamps said ahead of the clash against Spain.
He had a problem with his back and received a nose blow, which could have meant his life was over but he is still here.
His field of vision has changed, and it shocked him greatly. I'm convinced he will do everything he can on Tuesday."
However, it would seem like Mbappe has worn enough masks to keep his vision and play because, in Munich, he took the pitch without them, according to BBC commentator Steve Wilson, who said, "it's not working for him.
And it appears as though Mbappe's decision to reveal himself quickly paid off as soon as Randal Kolo Muani's assist came just nine minutes in.
