On June 22, according to L’Équipe, French star Kylian Mbappé is set to participate in a friendly match for the purpose of adjusting to wearing a mask. During the first round of the UEFA Euro group stage, Mbappé suffered a nasal fracture, and he will now don a mask in subsequent matches to minimize the risk of further injury. Unfortunately, he missed the second round game where France drew 0-0 with the Netherlands.
As reported by the French media outlet L’Équipe, the French national team will have a friendly against the youth players of local German club Paderborn on Saturday. “The Turtle” Mbappé, as he’s sometimes nicknamed, will play with his new mask to get accustomed to it.
It’s worth noting that this season, Mbappé has appeared in 48 matches, scoring 44 goals and providing 10 assists. Will the “Turtle” with the new mask be able to maintain his scorching form?
