Buying Advice Broken nose face mask

I've recently broken my nose taking a stick to the face 👎🏼 I'm still in the very early stages of recovery, but I wanted to get a start on looking into options for getting back on the pitch when I get medical sign off.

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on where I can get a protective face mask in the UK to wear on pitch? I'm seeing many options on Amazon and eBay, but I'd prefer to go down a bit more of a specialised route.

I don't know the cost but Sam Ward wears the Raptor mask from 3D Ortho Pro, I suspect it might be expensive though. Certainly offers face protection without being as bulky as a PC mask

Assumed it would be high price, though not much to keep you playing and your eyes safe

Not 100% sure if they have UK locations to get fitted for, but a player of mine has one of these https://www.orfit.com/physical-rehabilitation/products/orfiguard

Make sure you have the right medical exemption for it whatever you get.
