Aurélien Tchouaméni (26) has withdrawn from the France squad for the current international break with an adductor injury, it has been confirmed by the FFF.
Tchouaméni has yet to play for Les Bleus during the Zinédine Zidane era having missed out on the last international break with a fitness issue. The Real Madrid midfielder was picked for the current camp, with games against Italy and Turkiye upcoming in the UEFA Nations League.
Tchouaméni did, nonetheless, arrive at Clairefontaine but upon consultation with the doctors, it was decided that he would play no further part in the camp. The FFF, in a statement on Tuesday night, confirmed that the former AS Monaco midfielder would not be replaced.
The midfielder is the fourth withdrawal from Les Bleus’ squad. Pierre Kalulu also withdrew, replaced by Wolfsburg’s Sael Kumbedi, whilst AFC Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi has received a maiden call-up following Marcus Thuram’s withdrawal.
