Kylian Mbappe may be prevented from wearing a protective mask that he\u2019s had on in France training because of a little-known Uefa rule.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Mbappe broke his nose in France\u2019s opening\u00a0Euro 2024\u00a0clash with Austria following a nasty coming together with opposition centre-back Kevin Danso. The 25-year-old leapt to win a header as the ball was crossed into the box, only to be intercepted by the point of the Austrian\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n
Extensive on the field treatment was required before Mbappe could be taken off, with\u00a0Real Madrid\u2019s new talisman looking to be in extreme discomfort.<\/p>\n
France communicated their plan for Mbappe\u00a0in the hours that followed the 1-0 win, courtesy of an own goal from Max Wober, and he\u2019s been training with the squad as usual after wearing a protective mask donning the colours of the national team flag \u2013 red, white and blue.<\/p>\n
But UEFA\u2019s rules in regards to protective covering state that \u201cmedical equipment worn on the playing field must be of a single colour\u201d and \u201cmust not allow the team or manufacturer to be identified\u201d. Reports in France say that Mbappe has already been presented with alternatives and the guidelines will be checked during a technical meeting before France play the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
Wearing protective masks is not uncommon for players who have suffered facial injuries. Napoli\u2019s Victor Osimhen has famously worn one ever since he injured an eye socket while playing against Inter in November 2021.<\/p>\n

\n
The Nigerian underwent surgery to fix the problem and missed three months of action, before returning with a protective mask. He has continued to wear it even though doctors have fully cleared of him and say it is not a necessity.<\/p>\n
France\u00a0head coach Didier Deschamps said of Mbappe\u2019s progress: \u201cEverything is going in the right direction after this major shock with the consequences. Yesterday he went out, he did a little activity. This will also be the case this evening. Things are moving in the right direction to ensure that he is available tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is no guarantee that\u00a0Mbappe\u00a0will start against the Netherlands in Friday\u2019s late game, particularly as Deschamps has a number of strong alternatives should he wish to.<\/p>\n
Olivier Giroud could return up front, shunting Marcus Thuram out to the wing, with Kingsley Coman, Randal Kolo Muani and the extremely talented Bradley Barcola also part of France\u2019s 26-player squad.<\/p>\n
