Benjamin Pavard is doing well. According to information from RMC, which Le Parisien can confirm, the right side of the Blues does not suffer from a concussion after his violent shock to the head suffered in the second half of the victory of the Blues against Germany (1-0) Tuesday evening. Examined Wednesday by an independent doctor from the French Football Federation (FFF), the defender has no medical restriction to be able to continue his Euro. The player also took part in the training of the Blues the same day in Munich before joining Budapest with the rest of the tricolor group in the evening. He also participated in Thursday's session on Hungarian soil.
“I took quite a shock.
I was a little knocked out for 10 to 15 seconds, ”explained the world champion after the blow, inflicted in the penalty area of the Blues by the German left side, Robin Gosens.
Examined at the time by the Blues doctor Franck Le Gall, the player was able to finish the match against the Mannschaft.
The situation challenged UEFA, which launched an investigation on Wednesday morning to find out whether the player was fit or not to resume the match.
