Tchouameni was absent from France's training session Sunday due to a thigh injury and could return to training by Wednesday to test his condition, though the medical staff want to avoid any unnecessary risk with a potential semifinal in Dallas on July 14 in mind, according to L'Equipe.
Analysis:
Tchouameni's participation in France's upcoming quarterfinal is considered highly uncertain at this stage. The thigh issue kept him out of Sunday's training session, leaving him with limited time to build up match fitness before kickoff. He has reportedly brought in outside specialists he regularly works with to speed up his recovery. With France not back on the field until later in the week, his availability will remain a key storyline to track, with the staff showing no willingness to rush him given the stakes ahead. If Tchouameni can't recover in time, Manu Kone will be the one starting in the midfield alongside Adrien Rabiot.
