Kylian Mbappe left out of France XI after being told he can't wear mask for broken nose

Image
Kylian Mbappe  is OUT of the  France  side to play the  Netherlands  at  Euro 2024. The French striker, 25,  sustained a broken nose in their opener  against Austria on Monday following a bruising collision with Kevin Danso. He has been equipped with a mask but has not been ruled fit enough to play from the start on Friday evening in Leipzig. The  Real Madrid  star has been left on the bench, with Marcus Thuram, Ousmane Dembele and  Antoine Griezmann  named as Les Blues' front three instead. The Atletico Madrid star has been handed Mbappe's captain's armband in his absence. Speaking ahead of the game, France boss  Didier Deschamps  said: “Everything is going well, after the shock we had. Everything is evolving in the right direction. We’ll do all we can to ensure that he’ll be available." He added: "Kylian will be wearing a mask."   Austria defender Danso had apologised  for injuring Mbappe. Taking to social media, he said: “I wish him a good recovery and I h

Euro 2024 Moment of the Day: Jovic's 95th minute heroics that brought Serbia back to life

94:59. One second to go for the referee to blow the final whistle. That's when Luka Jovic connected. Slovenia had been having a good game against Serbia. Right back Zan Karnicnik had started, and finished, a glorious move that spanned almost the length of the pitch to put them one up. It had looked, for the longest time like that would be it, the difference maker. Slovenia's talismanic captain Jan Oblak was in terrific form in goal, while Serbia's talisman Aleksander Mitrovic was having one to forget. He was almost there, but almost is rarely enough to beat Oblak. Even before Serbia had conceded, they'd rung in the changes as they desperately sought some sort of a foothold in the match: Dusan Vlahovic for Luka Jovic had been one of them. The much-vaunted Vlahovic-Mitrovic partnership was just not clicking up top and as much as the Juventus man hated it, change was inevitable. Jovic came on and brought with him an increased urgency, that pit-bull energy forcing Serbia fo

Title: "The Haunting of Blackwood Manor"

In the quiet town of Blackwood, nestled deep in the heart of the dense, ancient forest, there stood an old, decrepit mansion known as Blackwood Manor. The townsfolk spoke of it in hushed tones, and it was widely considered cursed. Nobody dared approach the mansion after sunset, for strange, terrifying occurrences had befallen those who ventured too close. The tale began on a gloomy October evening when a curious group of college friends decided to test their courage and spend the night inside Blackwood Manor. Among them were Sarah, the adventurous leader; Mark, the skeptic who scoffed at the notion of curses; Lily, the bookworm who believed in supernatural forces; and Alex, the joker who thought the whole idea was ridiculous. As the clock struck midnight, the friends gathered in the dimly lit drawing room. A chill ran down their spines as the wind outside howled, and shadows danced menacingly on the walls. They brought with them candles, flashlights, and an old Ouija board that Sara
