Mbappe banned from wearing French flag mask at EURO 2024

Mbappe 'introduces' the protective mask he wore during training on June 20

Head coach Didier Deschamps said Mbappe does not need nose surgery at the moment but he will have to do it after completing EURO 2024 with the French team.

He also expressed hope that Mbappe could play in the match between France and the Netherlands at 2pm tonight, June 22. However, according to ESPN sources, the captain will only be on the reserve list and is unlikely to play.

Yesterday (June 20), Mbappe was seen on the French national team's training ground wearing a protective mask with the three colors of the French flag. The new Real Madrid signing later posted an 'introduction' photo to fans on his personal page.

However, according to UEFA regulations, the 25-year-old striker will only be allowed to wear a one-color mask.

However, sources say Mbappe will not be allowed to wear the protective mask if he plays for France at EURO 2024, because it does not comply with UEFA regulations.

Specifically, according to UEFA (European Football Federation) regulations, Mbappe is only allowed to wear a one-color mask that cannot show any identifying information about the team or manufacturer.
