France's head Didier Deschamps has said, "He has got a really bad nose, We'll have to wait and see.." When asked about whether Real Madrid's recruit will be fit to play or not? The French coach remarked that they are 'analysing' the best possible scenario that is in their hands! https://twitter.com/MbappeOOC/status/1802807014147715342 Kylian was taken to a nearby hospital in Dusseldorf for examinations before joining the team at Paderborn. The French team is surrounded by a precarious conundrum about whether their captain can make it in time in Leipzig to take the field against the Dutch. It is reported that Mbappe might feature in a masked encasing which can protect his nose from further damage. World Cups has featured many players with the mask who have earned the attention of social media. Everyone remembers the masked defender Joško Gvardiol in the 2022 WC.
