Thuram Injured in France, Kroupi Called Up to National Team
Inter forward Marcus Thuram has been removed from the France national team squad due to pain in his right back muscle. The 20-year-old Eli Junior Kroupi has been called up as his replacement.
The France national team has lost Marcus Thuram ahead of the UEFA Nations League matches. The 29-year-old forward felt pain in his right back muscle during Inter's 2-0 win over Como and was unable to take part in training on Monday.
The French Football Federation announced that Thuram's treatment is ongoing. After checks on Tuesday morning and talks with Inter, it was decided that the player would return to his club.
Thuram will not be available for the Thursday match against Italy in Milan or the Sunday match in Bordeaux against Turkey's A National Team. Eli Junior Kroupi, 20, has been called up to the squad in his place. Kroupi has been given the chance to wear the France A national team shirt for the first time in his career.
