‘Any Ideas for Masks?’: Kylian Mbappe Jokingly Reacts After Breaking His Nose in France vs Austria

• Kylian Mbappe reacts after breaking his nose in France's win over Austria amid fears of early 2024 UEFA European Championship exit
• The new Real Madrid signing was a late substitute in the match after colliding with RC Lens defender, Kevin Danso, which led to an injury
• The former Paris Saint-Germain forward would no longer need surgery, as initially proposed in earlier reports concerning his broken nose

Real Madrid's new signing, Kylian Mbappe, has jokingly reacted after breaking his nose in France's win over Austria in the 2024 UEFA European Championship.

The former Paris Saint-Germain forward contributed to Les Bleus's only goal of the game, which helped them claim all three points against Ralf Rangnick's side.

There were fears that the injury could end Mbappe's campaign at the Euros in Germany, but the French football governing body has confirmed that their captain will continue to receive treatment and not undergo surgery, and a mask will be made for him.

Mbappe took to his official handle on X (formerly known as Twitter) to respond jokingly to the situation.

"Any ideas for masks?" the France national team captain asked on X.

The France international was trolled by fans on social media after asking for a mask, with an old video and picture showing him wearing a turtle mask.

Mbappe produces miss of the tournament contender

Sports Brief earlier reported that Mbappe produced an early miss of the tournament contender in Les Bleus' win over Austria in their Euro 2024 opening group game.

Mbappe picked a fantastic long pass from Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot after out-pacing his markers and was left with only goalkeeper Patrick Pentz to beat but the French captain fired wide.
