🚨 Setback for France: superstar out for the last 16!

The French national team has to cope with a bitter blow ahead of the upcoming round-of-16 clash against Paraguay (Saturday, 11 p.m.).

>As 'RMC Sport' reports, coach Didier Deschamps will not be able to call on Aurélien Tchouaméni against the team that beat Germany. According to the report, the Real Madrid ball-winner is currently struggling with muscle problems.

>Despite the outstanding quality of the squad, this absence is a significant blow for Les Bleus. Tchouaméni is an undisputed starter in the holding midfield role for France and gives attacking artists like Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise the freedom to operate.

>N'Golo Kanté, Warren Zaïre-Emery and Manu Koné are possible replacements. However, it remains unclear who Deschamps will line up alongside the established Adrien Rabiot against Paraguay.
