France captain Kylian Mbappe says he finds playing with a mask on “absolutely horrible” as he prepares to lead his side in their Euro 2024 last-16 match with Belgium on Monday.
The 25-year-old striker broke his nose in a collision during his side’s 1-0 win against Austria in their opening game of the tournament.
He missed the goalless draw with the Netherlands but returned and scored as France drew 1-1 with Poland.
Mbappe wore a protective mask in that game but said he found it uncomfortable.
