Alicia Tournebize, a pillar of the French paint, had to leave the Bleues' training camp this Saturday following an injury sustained during practice. The French team is competing in the 2026 World Cup in Germany from September 4 to 13. This absence complicates the selection's offensive and defensive plans less than fifteen days before the opening tip-off. The French staff will need to revise its setup in the paint.
