Meanwhile, RMC revealed that some French participants in the European Championship woke up on Thursday with fever, cramps, and headaches.
Bayern Munich forward Coman is believed to have been the most severely affected, spending the entire morning of Thursday in his room.

Offensive player Ousmane Dembélé took a press conference and stated (as per RMC): "In my opinion, things are going much better. I had the flu on Tuesday. I had a little fever and maybe made it worse. But it's better now, the whole team is doing better - except for Coman, who is a little sicker."
