France has suffered two significant absences ahead of their UEFA Nations League A matches against Italy and the Turkish National Football Team. The French Football Federation announced that Marcus Thuram and Aurelien Tchouameni have been removed from the squad due to injuries.
It was stated that 29-year-old Inter player Thuram felt pain in his right hamstring during the match against Como. According to the federation's statement, the injured player could not participate in Monday's training session and continued his treatment.
Following medical checks on Tuesday morning, the French Football Federation decided that Thuram would return to his club after consulting with Inter and the player.
KROUPI CALLED UP TO SENIOR NATIONAL TEAM FOR THE FIRST TIME
Following Thuram's withdrawal from the squad, 20-year-old Eli Junior Kroupi was called up to the French senior national team. This marks the first time Kroupi has been called up to the senior national squad in his career.
The other loss for France is Aurelien Tchouameni. The federation announced that the 26-year-old footballer, who has a right hamstring injury, has also been removed from the squad following discussions with Real Madrid's medical team.
It was reported that Tchouameni will be sent back to the Spanish club and that no new player will be called up to replace him.
