France won in pain last night against Chile with a 3-2 victory. A more convincing match than the one played against Germany a few days earlier. But the France team lost players to injury. Eduardo Camavinga sprained his left ankle, and gave way to Mattéo Guendouzi, acclaimed for his return to the Vélodrome. At the start of the match, it was Jonathan Clauss who had to be replaced. Victim of a torn ischio in his left thigh, the Olympian right back is expected to miss the next few weeks of competition with his club and in particular the Clasico on Sunday.
A hard blow for OM and their coach Jean-Louis Gasset, present in the aisles of the Stade Vélodrome. Didier Deschamps met him and recounted his exchange with the Olympian coach at the end of the match. “I came across Jean-Louis Gasset and Ghislain Printant, they asked me if I could lend them some full-backs even though I don’t have many anymore either…” first joked the coach of the France team. He was then more apologetic: “It’s regrettable, he’s coming off a series of matches, trips, it shows. I hope it won't be too serious for Jonathan.”.
