On the eve of the game France will compete before the Netherlands by Euro Cup, Kylian Mbappé returned to training, for the first time with a protective mask above his fractured nose, days after injuring the area during the match his team beat Austria (0-1).
Mbappé is trying to get used to a new object that, at first glance, does not seem very comfortable for the Real Madrid player. In the first stages of the session, he touched and rearranged the mask several times to position it in the best possible way on his face.
On the grass of the Leipzig Stadium, the scene of the match between France and Ronald Koeman’s men, Mbappé jumped onto the pitch with the rest of his teammates. He participated in the first rounds of the session and He normally completed running exercises with a certain intensity.
It seems that Mbappé’s chances of playing against the Netherlands are high. His own coach, Didier Deschamps, said in a press conference that he would do everything possible to make his best man available for France’s second match in the European Championship.
Mbappé broke his nose last Monday night during his team’s match with Austria while trying to head the ball. He collided with the body of defender Kevin Danso and had to leave the game. Now, his presence against the Netherlands is doubtful, but he took a step forward after trying his protective mask for the first time.
