France’s national football team encountered a setback in their Euro 2024 preparations as they faced a major injury scare ahead of the tournament. During a pre-tournament friendly against Luxembourg, Bayern Munich centre-back Dayot Upamecano was forced off the pitch due to injury.
Upamecano, who started the match alongside Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate, reported discomfort in his left thigh, leading to his substitution at half-time. The severity of his injury remains uncertain, with further tests scheduled to determine the extent of the damage.
The injury comes as a cause for concern for France, who are gearing up for their Euro 2024 campaign. With just one more warm-up game against Canada before their tournament opener against Austria on June 17, Les Bleus are hoping for a swift recovery for Upamecano.
The potential absence of Upamecano could pose a challenge for France, as they aim to clinch their third European crown.
Despite the setback, the squad boasts talent in key players such as N’Golo Kante, Kylian Mbappe, and Antoine Griezmann, instilling confidence in their ability to compete at the highest level.
