France complains about failures before the start of the World Cup

France will have to do without defenders Elisa De Almeida and Selma Bacha (12:00 p.m. / ARD) at the start of the World Cup against Jamaica on Sunday.

The plight of injuries in the semi-finalists of the European Championship continued, and coach Herve Renard is not available for more than half of the planned starting eleven.

De Almeida, who has been playing for Paris St. Germain since 2021, injured her calf in training, Bacha (Lyon) continues to complain of pain in her left ankle. According to Renard, both are out of the question for use.
