Adductor injured, Tchouaméni missing the next France matches

Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni was forced to leave the France team gathering after an adductor injury, ruling him out of the next two Nations League matches against Italy and Turkey scheduled this week.

The incident, confirmed by Real Madrid's staff, forces the 26-year-old player to return directly to Madrid for medical monitoring.

Zidane is left without one of his midfielders capable of providing impact and balance, which complicates setting up his team for these decisive fixtures.

This absence adds to the recent absences of Pierre Kalulu and Marcus Thuram, who were respectively replaced by Saël Kumbedi and Éli Junior Kroupi.

The Bleus will face Italy in Milan this Thursday, then Turkey in Bordeaux on Sunday, two key Nations League matches.

Real Madrid will closely monitor his physical condition, with the medical staff needing to determine the exact severity of the adductor injury before considering his return, while the football transfer market watches the situation.
