A major blow for the

France

team.

Just a few hours before kickoff of their 2026

World Cup

round-of-16 match, the

team now has to deal with some very bad news.

According to information from RMC Sport, confirmed by L'Équipe,

Aurélien Tchouaméni

has been ruled out of tonight’s match against

Paraguay

(11 p.m.).

The vice-captain of

Les Bleus

is suffering from a thigh issue and is expected to be replaced by Manu Koné, who played in the last two group-stage matches.

RMC Sport adds that the Real Madrid player should be fit again for a possible quarter-final, if
