Virus attacks training camp, France team loses Mbappe, Coman

Five days before France took to the field against Austria in both teams' first match at Euro 2024, a virus unexpectedly "visited" the French team's training camp in Padeborn on the evening of June 13.

Captain Kylian Mbappe and his strike partner Kingsley Coman immediately had to ask for leave due to "not feeling well".

Head coach Didier Deschamps had to hand over the training session to his colleagues for this reason. The duo Ibrahima Konate and Aurelien Tchouameni, although they started the group training session, had to ask to switch to individual exercises with the fitness coach when they felt "health problems".

Following the French team's training session, the media managed to record Mbappe struggling to practice alone in the gym for quite a while. Afterwards, he ran out to the training ground to wave to the fans and quickly returned to his room. Mbappe has just completed the procedures to say goodbye to Paris Saint-Germain to join Real Madrid.

He was only able to play the last 15 minutes of the friendly match between France and Canada (0-0) last weekend, perhaps because his injury had not fully recovered.

Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has spent the day in self-isolation in his room despite doctors trying to reassure him that his condition is not too serious.

The French team is in an extremely difficult period in terms of personnel, because at a press conference on June 13, Ousmane Dembele also revealed that he had just recovered from a mild fever.

"Everything is much better for me. I believe in a few days, the whole team will be fine. Coman is a bit sick and the chef had to bring some food to his room," the PSG winger shared.

Les Bleus will open their tournament against Austria at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf on June 18. France will then face the Netherlands and Poland in Group D, with Mbappe expected to play a key role in their bid to qualify for Euro 2024.

Mbappe played a key role in France's success at the 2018 World Cup and four years later continued to lead the team to the Qatar World Cup final.

Along with England and hosts Germany, France are considered strong candidates for this European Championship. Mbappé will be captaining the team at a major tournament for the first time. The last time "Les Bleus" won the European Championship was in 2000 when Didier Deschamps was the team's captain.
