At the training camp of the French national team - not the best news. On Tuesday evening, national team coach Didier Deschamps announced that Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane will miss the 2016 European Championship due to a thigh injury.
The 23-year-old footballer was invited to represent the national team in the upcoming EURO 2016 tournament. However, during training, R. Varane felt muscle pain in his thigh and will have to give up football for a while. He was replaced in the French national team by Sevilla defender Adil Rami.
It was previously mentioned that R. Varane would miss the UEFA Champions League final due to injury, but after initial examinations, there was no risk of missing the European Championship.
However, D. Deschamps received medical prognosis and announced that one of the best young center-backs in the world will not recover in time for the start of the European Championship.
It was expected that R. Varane and Laurent Koscielny would form a center-back duo at EURO 2016, but it seems that from now on, Eliaquim Mangala or A. Rami will assist the captain of Arsenal from London.
