France’s star forward, Kylian Mbappé, has been facing challenges with playing while wearing a mask during the ongoing Euro 2024 campaign, as mentioned by coach Didier Deschamps.

Having suffered a facial injury in France’s opener against Austria, Mbappé has since been donning a protective mask during matches, leading to discomfort on the field.

Despite his resilience, the mask has proven to be a hindrance, affecting Mbappé’s vision and causing discomfort due to sweat accumulation, making the experience less than ideal.

The Real Madrid player’s first competitive game of the season is scheduled for the UEFA Super Cup clash with Spain on Aug. 14, adding pressure to his recovery and adjustment to the mask.

Didier Deschamps expressed concern over Mbappé’s condition, highlighting the need for rest ahead of crucial fixtures, such as France’s Euro 2024 semifinal against Spain.

Mbappé’s limited goal-scoring success at the Euros, with just one goal so far, raises questions about his performance amidst the added challenges he faces on the field.

The incident where a pitch invader approached Mbappé during the clash with Spain further heightened the attention on the player’s struggles, showcasing the disruptions he is dealing with.

Despite these obstacles, Mbappé’s determination and the support of his team remain key factors as he navigates through the Euro 2024 tournament, aiming to contribute effectively despite the challenges he faces.
