It’s unfortunate news for French football fans as Steve Mandanda will miss the 2014 World Cup in Brazil due to an injury sustained during the final day of Ligue 1. The Marseille goalkeeper suffered a knee to the head, resulting in a neck injury.
After consulting with specialists from the neurosurgery department, Mandanda is expected to resume collective training in mid-July. Further checks will be conducted at the beginning of June to monitor his recovery progress.
This absence will be a significant blow to the French national team, as Mandanda has been a key player for both Marseille and the national side.
