Amandine Henry, things are going wrong

Initially summoned by Hervé Renard for the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, Amandine Henry had withdrawn before the competition. She has still not returned to competition with her new club in Los Angeles.

Affected in the left calf and withdrawn from the French team of Hervé Renard on July 7, Amandine Henry could she have resumed for the knockout stages of the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand? The 33-year-old midfielder resumed on July 25 with her new Los Angeles club (Angel City FC), while Les Bleues were preparing (only) for their second group match of the World Cup against Brazil.

Since then, and this is quite surprising, Henry has not yet made his debut with the formation of the National Women’s Soccer League which evolves at the stadium of Los Angeles FC (in MLS). She remained on the bench on July 30, did not participate in the meeting the following week and again remained among the substitutes last Sunday, when Racing Louisville came (1-1).

Faced with the non-use of the seven-time Champions League winner, Angel City manager Becki Tweed explained on Twitter, saying that Henry was continuing his integration but that the team needed to progress for the instant with the players currently used. Next match for the California team: next Monday, against… OL Reign. A sign for the former Lyonnaise?
