Kylian Mbappé returns to training in boost to France Euro 2024 hopes
Deschamps optimistic forward will feature in tournamentMbappé broke his nose in France’s first match
Kylian Mbappé returned to France training on Wednesday – for the first time since breaking his nose in their Euro 2024 opener – but Didier Deschamps confirmed his captain will require surgery at some point, most likely after the tournament.
France are sourcing a custom-made mask for Mbappé, who trained alone at their base in Paderborn before joining in a finishing drill with the rest of his teammates. Mbappé wore wound-closure strips across his nose and was limited to non-contact exercises.
