A few days before France's opening game at the European Championship in Duesseldorf against Austria, worries about health setbacks are on the rise among the potential championship winners. As per consistent media reports, coach Didier Deschamps, forward Kingsley Coman, and several other team members are experiencing nasal and pharyngeal mucosa inflammation.
The French team's head coach, Deschamps, reportedly felt unwell on Wednesday after completing training at the team camp in Bad Lippspringe, based on "L'Équipe's" report. 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. There are no reports suggesting that his participation in the Monday (9 p.m./ARD and MagentaTV) match against Austria is in jeopardy. The same media outlets state that the mild virus infections are not causing major concerns for the involved parties.
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."
