Wendie Renard is still uncertain for the clash against Brazil this Saturday in the quarter-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Injured in the quadriceps during the defeat against Canada last Sunday (1-2), the defender and French captain had to miss the last match of the group stage against New Zealand on Wednesday. A match that ended in victory (2-1) for Hervé Renard’s girls, thanks to a double from Marie-Antoinette Katoto.
Hervé Renard believes in it
For his part, the coach of the Bleues does not have any concerns about the fitness of Wendie Renard. According to him, the Olympique Lyonnais leader should be present against the Canarinhas.
“It’s going to be okay, it’s getting better and better,” said the Savoyard at a press conference. “There was a lot of fear, but as she is a great professional, she spends many hours in care every day. She goes to the swimming pool, does exercises. She will be there, I am sure.”
