Aurélien Tchouaméni leaves France camp with an adductor injury

The French Football Federation announced that Aurélien Tchouaméni is returning to Real Madrid after suffering an injury to his right adductor muscle during the national team camp. France will not call up a replacement.

The midfielder withdrew from a training session on Tuesday after feeling discomfort in his thigh. A Spanish media report said Real Madrid had identified the discomfort as being in his right thigh, and that the player’s return to the club was dependent on the symptoms continuing.

France are preparing to face Italy away on Thursday, then host Turkey on Sunday, in the UEFA Nations League.
