Hervé Renard did not indicate this Friday in front of the press that Selma Bacha had undergone an examination concerning discomfort in an adductor. The followers of the Blues are not reassured.
After finishing top of Group A ahead of Canada, Colombia and New Zealand, the French women’s football team has secured its ticket to the quarter-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympic tournament. Facing Brazil on Saturday night (9 p.m.), Hervé Renard’s girls know they will have a lot to do. A task that is all the more complicated as some French players are uncertain.
As reported this Friday by The TeamSelma Bacha and Sakina Karchaoui have encountered some minor physical problems in recent days. For the latter, it is not really a surprise since she had felt a slight pain in her left gluteal muscle at the end of the match against the New Zealanders on July 31. But for the Lyonnaise, the media was more worried.
Wendie Renard, it’s positive
According to him, Bacha even underwent an examination on Thursday concerning discomfort in the right adductor. A fact that Hervé Renard did not say a word about during today’s press conference. If the French staff has since expressed its optimism regarding the participation of the left side against the Seleçaodoubts have not all been dispelled and the possibility of having to do without one or the other (or even both in the worst case scenario) at kick-off cannot be ruled out at this time.
On the other hand, some good news came from Wendie Renard. Victim of a crutch last Sunday against Canada, the French captain is ready to find her place at the center of the French defense. Her presence will not be too much against the Brazilians who will certainly be without Marta for this quarter-final, but who will be no less dangerous.
