French football superstar Kylian Mbappé faces an unexpected hurdle as he returns to Euro 2024 – his patriotic mask design is getting red-carded by tournament organizers. ⚽️ The Paris Saint-Germain forward broke his nose during France's 1-0 victory over Austria but attempted to turn medical gear into national pride with a red-white-blue mask matching France's iconic flag.
Despite rocking the tricolor design during training sessions 🎽, UEFA regulations strictly require all medical equipment to be a single color during matches. The rulebook states: \"Medical equipment must be free of team and manufacturer identification\" – leaving no room for Mbappé's creative expression.
While the 25-year-old won't need surgery 👨⚕️, fans are now wondering: Will we see Mbappé channel his inner superhero with a plain mask? 🦸 Or could French officials lobby for special permission? The situation adds dramatic flair to France's championship campaign as they prepare for Friday's match against the Netherlands. 🇳🇱
