Luka Jović has opened up about the challenges of playing with a protective mask, admitting that it has been difficult to adapt to.
The Serbian striker has been wearing the mask since suffering a facial injury in training last month, and he has since struggled to find his best form.
In an interview with the club's official website, Jović said: "It's not easy to play with a mask. It's difficult to breathe and it's hard to see.
"But I'm getting used to it and I'm trying to do my best.
"I'm confident that I can overcome this and come back stronger.
Jović has scored just one goal in his last seven appearances for Real Madrid, and he will be hoping to find his scoring touch again when the team faces Barcelona in the El Clásico on Sunday.
The challenges of playing with a mask
There are a number of challenges that come with playing with a protective mask:
- Reduced vision: The mask can obstruct the player's vision, making it difficult to see the ball and other players.
- Difficulty breathing: The mask can make it difficult to breathe, especially during intense exercise.
- Discomfort: The mask can be uncomfortable to wear, especially for extended periods of time.
Despite these challenges, Jović is determined to overcome them and return to his best form.
Jović's determination
Despite the challenges, Jović is determined to overcome them and return to his best form.
He said: "I'm not going to let this stop me.
"I'm going to keep working hard and I'm going to come back stronger.
"I'm confident that I can do it.
Jović's determination is admirable, and it is clear that he is willing to do whatever it takes to overcome this challenge.
