Key French Player to Miss Round of 16 Clash Against Paraguay

The French national team will face Paraguay without one of its key figures, Aurélien Tchouaméni. The Round of 16 match is scheduled for tonight (Saturday into Sunday) at midnight Bulgarian time. It has been revealed that the midfielder sustained an injury and will be unable to participate in the fixture in Philadelphia.

The Real Madrid player experienced discomfort in his thigh during Friday's training session, consequently ruling him out of Didier Deschamps' plans.

According to information from an RMC Sport journalist, the French international is expected to be sidelined for approximately four days. This timeline suggests he should be available for a potential quarter-final match. Manu Koné is anticipated to step in for the Real Madrid star in the starting lineup tonight.
