The news is unfortunate for Josuha Guilavogui, who sustained a hamstring injury during his club’s match against Reims last Sunday. According to the club’s official website, the Franco-Guinean midfielder is expected to be sidelined for almost two months due to the injury.
This setback comes at a crucial time as Didier Deschamps, the coach of the French national team, is set to reveal his list of 30 pre-selected players for the World Cup on May 13. Guilavogui’s form would have been a factor in his potential selection, but this injury may now jeopardize his chances of participating in the tournament.
Although he was called up for the last friendly match against the Netherlands, Guilavogui did not get to play due to his injury.
