The French national team is facing squad challenges ahead of their Round of 16 clash against Sweden in the 2026 World Cup. Forward Marcus Thuram missed Sunday’s training session due to a calf muscle injury. According to media reports, the 28-year-old striker is highly unlikely to feature in the upcoming match.
A similar situation has arisen with N’Golo Kanté. The midfielder trained separately from the main group because of knee pain. However, the coaching staff have indicated that his injury is not serious. While Thuram’s condition could sideline him for an extended period, the French team remains hopeful that Kanté will be available for the later stages of the tournament.
