Jaw brace headgear keeping injured players on the field

AP:
In a sport of headers and constant collisions, a fractured jaw would seem like a tournament-ending injury.
Not so much at the 2026 World Cup.
Austria defender Stefan Posch and England defender Djed Spence stand out on the field for the black jaw braces they have been wearing in matches.
Players have long had to wear face protections for injuries like fractured cheek bones or broken noses.
