DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Kylian Mbappé returned to France's starting lineup for the match against Poland at the European Championship on Tuesday, eight days after breaking his nose.
Mbappé, France's captain, will be wearing a protective mask for the Group D closer at Dortmund's Westfalenstadion.
The Real Madrid-bound striker sustained the broken nose late in France's 1-0 win over Austria on June 17 and was an unused substitute in the 0-0 draw with the Netherlands on Friday.
Mbappé has since featured in a behind-closed-doors match against a local youth team in Paderborn, where France's training base is in Germany.
