Is this a first big blow for the French women's team before the start of the Euro?
During a small game of oppositions, this Tuesday morning in Clairefontaine, one of the executives of the Bleues, the midfielder Grace Geyoro, 24, stepped on the ball.
Immediately his left knee seems to have turned.
Which would suggest a ligament problem.
In tears and supported by her captain Wendie Renard, the PSG player left the lawn limping.
The severity of his injury is not yet known, but the staff fears a rupture of the cruciate ligaments.
Examinations, in the next few hours, will make it possible to make the diagnosis.
His participation in the first preparation match, Saturday in Beauvais, against Cameroon is already very compromised.
But the coach Corinne Deacon, in any case, intended rather to breathe her executives that day and align them during the following match against Vietnam on July 1.
An inexperienced midfielder
A long unavailability, or even a package from the Parisian for the Women's Euro, organized from July 6 to 31 in England, would be a real blow.
Because this game sector does not contain many experienced elements.
Especially in the absence of the Lyonnaise Amandine Henry.
The former tricolor captain has been dismissed since the fall of 2020 by Corinne Deacon for having openly criticized her management.
A withdrawal from Geyoro would not be likely to reshuffle the cards, because Henry would obviously not appear in the list of reserves.
Deacon has a group of 23 players, including three goalkeepers, but she contacted a "ten" other players as reserves, without revealing their identity.
The official list for the match against the Italians on July 10 must be sent to UEFA by June 26.
