France, who have six points from two games, need a draw on Wednesday against Switzerland, on the final day of the group stage, to confirm their place in the quarterfinals. Sylvain Ripoll’s team has everything for it but now he received bad news.
As reported by the French Football Federation, Michael Olise, right winger for Crystal Palacecause low for the rest of the tournament, due to a hamstring injury suffered on Sunday in the game that won the ‘bleuets’ against Norway (0-1).
Olise scored the only goal in the 57th minute and eight minutes later he had to be substituted after injuring his left thigh trying to finish off a cross from Rayan Cherky. Today he underwent an MRI in Cluj, Romania, which revealed a hamstring injury.
His absence was estimated at several weeks and, therefore, he missed the rest of the Under-21 Euro Cup. Olise will leave camp on Tuesday afternoon and will not be replaced. France could be Spain’s rival in the quarterfinals.
Adli was suspended against Switzerland
Ripoll will also be without another winger against Switzerland, the left-footed Amine Adli, who saw a yellow card against Norway, his second in two games, and must serve a penalty for accumulating booking.
