Kylian Mbappe to Miss 2024 Paris Olympics and Euro Group Matches Due to Injury

Kylian Mbappe, France's star forward, suffered a broken nose during France's 1-0 victory over Austria in their Euro 2024 opener and will be sidelined for at least 15 days, potentially missing the group stage matches against the Netherlands and Poland. Despite the injury not requiring surgery, Mbappe will need to wear a custom mask upon his return and has been actively seeking mask design ideas on social media. Additionally, Mbappe, who recently joined Real Madrid, will not participate in the Paris Olympics 2024 due to the club's decision, similar to Lionel Messi's stance on skipping the games. Real Madrid's stance is driven by the need to ensure Mbappe is in peak condition for the upcoming 2024-25 season.
