France vs Sweden – Injuries Hit Les Bleus Ahead of Marseille Clash
As France prepares to face Sweden on Tuesday at the Vélodrome in Marseille, Didier Deschamps’ squad will be without two key players: Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Morgan Schneiderlin.
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, who started the friendly against Albania, has been ruled out due to a right thigh injury.
Morgan Schneiderlin, who came on late in that same match, suffers from a right adductor issue and will also miss the Sweden clash.
Meanwhile, attention is focused on the anticipated meeting between two of Europe’s top strikers: Karim Benzema and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, according to reports, Benzema seems reluctant to face the Swedish star forward.
Zlatan, who recently returned from injury and is set to feature against Montenegro in a Euro 2016 qualifier, could also start against France — setting up a high-profile showdown in Marseille. But Benzema appears wary of the potential duel, adding extra intrigue to the upcoming encounter.
