Why is Josko Gvardiol of Croatia wearing mask at FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar?

Football club RB Leipzig's and team Croatia's defender has moved away from Germany, making big money. Last summer, Josko Gvardiol was linked with the famous football club Chelsea. Josko Gvardiol has shown some impressive credentials to be at the top of the European football team.

However, throughout the match, the 20-year-old Josko is noticed for his mask more than the game he played. This has not just impeded the defender's move, but this action has many reasons for it. Gvardiol had to don a mask as he had undergone an injury when playing for Leipzig. During a match aginst SC Freiburg, Gvardiol broke his nose.

There were discussions between Leipzig and the Croatian medical staff. So, doctors recommended that Gvardiol wear a mask for medical reasons. There were some concerns in the final game as a fixture because of the defender's involvement. Although, even after the unpleasant blow, we should not fear the FIFA World Cup.




According to the International Football Association Board, the mask is designed to prevent facial bones and is a non-dangerous protection. So, he was allowed to wear it during the match. Such face protection masks are available at the pharmacy or sourced via a medical agent. These masks safeguard many facial bones like cheeks, nose, and orbital wall.
