A question for Mbappe to mask

LEIPZIG: France captain Kylian Mbappe appears not to have found the ideal face mask ahead of their final Euro 2024 group match against Poland today.

French media said yesterday that he tried out several new masks in training the previous day.

Sports paper L’Equipe said that one tailor-made carbon mask had a better fit and gave him less problems.

Mbappe needs a protective mask after he broke his nose last week in the opening 1-0 victory against Austria.

He was an unused substitute in Friday’s 0-0 draw with Holland, and coach Didier Deschamps is yet to reveal whether he will return into the starting line-up against Poland. — dpa
