Kylian Mbappe Scores Twice in Comeback Game After Nose Injury

Kylian Mbappe boldly returned to action after healing from a broken nose he sustained in France’s Euro 2024 opener. Wearing a protective mask, the French captain actively participated in a practice match against the under-21 team of German club Paderborn which consisted of two 30-minute halves. France had sidelined Kylian Mbappe during their goalless draw with the Netherlands on Friday due to the injury he suffered against Austria earlier in the week.

In the closed-door friendly held on Saturday, the 25-year-old displayed his formidable presence on the pitch by scoring two goals and providing two assists. His performance clearly signaled his readiness to rejoin the squad for France’s crucial upcoming Group D encounter against Poland in Dortmund on Tuesday.

Mbappe’s return to form and fitness significantly bolsters France’s aspirations in Euro 2024, particularly as they strive to secure a strong finish in their group and advance in the tournament. His ability to score and create opportunities underlines his crucial role in the team’s strategy and ambitions on the European stage.
