France have suffered an early setback ahead of their upcoming international fixtures, as Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga has been ruled out of training due to muscle discomfort.
The dynamic midfielder, who has been a key figure in Didier Deschamps’ plans, was forced to sit out the latest training session at Clairefontaine after feeling tightness during recovery. Medical staff are closely monitoring his condition, but sources suggest he could miss France’s next match if the issue persists.
In response, coach Didier Deschamps has called up Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram to bolster the squad’s midfield options. The 23-year-old son of French legend Lilian Thuram returns to Les Bleus after an impressive run of form in Ligue 1.
Deschamps, while expressing concern for Camavinga, emphasized the importance of depth and readiness in his squad: “We’ll assess Eduardo’s situation carefully. Khephren has been performing consistently, and this is a good opportunity for him to step in.”
Camavinga’s absence will be a blow to France’s midfield balance, given his versatility and energy both in defense and attack. Meanwhile, Thuram’s inclusion brings fresh dynamism — and a familiar name — back into the French camp.
France are set to resume their international campaign later this week, with eyes now on whether Camavinga can recover in time or if Thuram will seize his chance on the big stage.
