Gusto downplayed concerns over his ankle after a collision with Lucas Digne in training Wednesday, describing the issue as a small bruise that should be fine following treatment, according to Loic Tanzi of L'Equipe. "Everything is fine, I took a little stud from Lucas who maybe wasn't very happy. I will just have treatment today, it's a small bruise, it should be fine."
Analysis:
Gusto did not finish Wednesday's training session but the reassuring update suggests there is no serious concern ahead of France's second group fixture against Iraq on June 22. The Chelsea right-back remains an option behind Jules Kounde in the battle for the starting spot, and his quick recovery removes any lingering doubt heading into the tournament's pivotal stages.
