If Euro 2025 officially started this Wednesday, the French team will have to wait until Saturday to enter the competition. Organized in Switzerland from July 2 to 27, the tournament is an opportunity for the girls of Laurent Bonadei to try to do at least as well as the semi-final of the 2022 edition. But for their first match, they will probably have to do without Griedge Mbock.
The new Captain of the Blue after Wendie Renard has been absent for several days after having felt muscle pain in the right calf. Package for the friendly meeting won against Brazil last Friday (3-2), the defender is increasingly uncertain for the entry into the running of France against England scheduled for this Saturday at 9 p.m.
According to the latest information relayed by RMC from the tricolor base camp, Griedge Mbock is followed day by day by the medical staff. This Wednesday, she did not even go to train, contenting herself with a few indoor exercises. The media said that a package for the rest of the competition is not for the moment on the agenda.
The blue weakened in defense?
The coach always hopes to be able to count on the return of his captain, especially since the replacements do not have the experience of the usual holder. Only seven selections for Thiniba Samoura and four for Alice Sombath. Not necessarily reassuring to form a pair with the other holder of the central hinge, Maëlle Lakrar.
The French team can at least rely on their good series of eight row wins before starting the Euro. On the program for the first round of the Blue after England this weekend, there will be Wales (July 9, at 9 p.m.) before another big pieces with the Netherlands (July 13, at 9 p.m.). A first step not easy, especially if Griedge Mbock is not there.
