This is very bad news for Corentin Tolisso.
Operated this Friday morning in Berlin for a rupture of a tendon in the quadriceps, the Bayern Munich midfielder has lost, according to our information, almost all his chances of participating in the next rescheduled Euro from June 11 to July 11, 2021 due to Covid-19.
“He has at least 4 months.
It is almost impossible that he is restored for this competition, “we are sorry in the entourage of the international tricolor (23 selections).
“It's a serious muscle injury, a torn tendon.
On a shot (in training), he felt intense pain, there was no warning sign, ”said Hans-Dieter Flick, the Bayern coach.
The misfortune of some makes, it is well known, the happiness of others.
His very likely package for the Euro should reshuffle the cards in midfield, a very competitive gaming sector.
To his advantage with Tottenham, Tanguy Ndombélé presents himself as a credible alternative.
The nugget of Rennes, Eduardo Camavinga, also has strengths to highlight.
In Italy, the Romain Jordan Veretout, never called up for the French team, for his part achieved his best season in Serie A (9 goals, 2 assists).
Hindered by injuries for three years
“It really hurt me for him.
I'm more than convinced he just needed a little bit of rhythm […] We will be supporting him for the weeks and months to come to get him back to his best, ”added Flick.
Tolisso has always been a second choice this season for Flick, who has only started him seven times in 22 Bundesliga matches.
The former Lyon player has been hampered a lot by injuries over the past three years.
In 2018-19, he missed much of the season, from September to March, due to a cruciate ligament rupture.
Last season, he was absent for two and a half months, from April to June (after the championship had resumed after the interruption due to Covid-19), due to an ankle operation.
And this season, the former Lyonnais had already missed six matches for two different muscle injuries.

Partly probably because of these injuries, Tolisso has never really won at Bayern since his arrival in 2017 from Lyon, for 41.5 million euros, which at the time had made him the most expensive player ever bought by Bayern (record broken since by Lucas Hernandez, 80 million).
So far, there is only one lining left for the German international duo Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka.
