Kylian Mbappé is waiting to be fitted for a mask to protect his broken nose in Euro 2024. But he won't be the first.
Kylian Mbappé is always a marked man. At the European Championship, he's set to be known as the masked man. The France superstar broke his nose in his team's opening game of Euro 2024, a 1-0 win over Austria on Monday, and is likely to be fitted with a carbon-fiber mask if he is to play again in the tournament. He wouldn't be the first soccer player needing to wear a mask, as Mbappé himself points out.
Gvardiol, the Croatia center back, had to wear one after suffering a broken nose when clashing heads with then-Leipzig teammate Willi Orban in a German league match. Doctors decided that he could play for Croatia as long as he had a mask on. He was one of the best defenders at the World Cup — apart from when he came up against Lionel Messi in the semifinal against Argentina.
