Mbappe’s injury occurred during the closing stages of France’s 1-0 victory over Austria on Monday night, resulting from a severe collision with Austrian defender Kevin Danso. The incident initially raised concerns about Mbappe’s continued participation in the tournament, with medical staff expressing genuine worry about the extent of the injury.

However, the French Football Federation (FFF) has since confirmed that Mbappe did not require surgery. Instead, a custom-made protective mask was created to enable his return to play. The federation’s quick action highlights the importance of Mbappe to the French national team’s Euro 2024 campaign.

While the striking blue mask with French flag accents allows Mbappe to train, it remains uncertain when he will be cleared to return to competitive action.
