Kylian Mbappé, the French football star, was benched during France's Euro 2024 match against the Netherlands after breaking his nose in the team's opening game against Austria. Mbappé, who wore a black mask during warmups, did not participate in the goalless draw. He was replaced by Aurelien Tchouameni in Leipzig. Despite his absence, France and the Netherlands played to a 0-0 stalemate on Friday, leaving both teams without a clear advantage in Group D. Following the match, Mbappé participated in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Paderborn's youth team, where he scored two goals and provided two assists in 60 minutes, showing promising signs of recovery.
