Aurélien Tchouaméni, alarm in France over groin discomfort

Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni could not complete France's training session this Tuesday and will undergo tests to determine the extent of his groin discomfort. According to L'Équipe, he could leave the Les Bleus camp and miss the next international fixtures.

The main concern now is the exact nature of the injury. France travel to Italy this Thursday and host Turkey on Sunday in their next two UEFA Nations League matches. After the absences of Pierre Kalulu and Marcus Thuram, Zidane could also be without Tchouaméni, who already missed the September-October call-up after an adductor injury suffered at the World Cup in the United States, when the coach kept him in Madrid because he was not yet at optimal physical condition.

This Tuesday's tests will be decisive in deciding whether he can stay with the national team or must return to Madrid. At the Spanish club they are still awaiting confirmation from the French federation and will follow his progress closely.
