Removed from the France team during the last gatherings, Eugenie Le Sommer remains in the dark about her future with the Bleues.
Top scorer of the French women’s team with 86 goals, Eugenie Le Sommer was removed from the latest gatherings by Corinne Deacon. Despite her good performances (18 matches, 8 goals and 2 assists) on the other side of the Atlantic with the club of OL Reign, the American franchise of Olympique Lyonnais, the striker no longer appears in the lists unveiled by the coach.
Guest on the antennas of RMC, this Wednesday, the 32-year-old player admitted not having “necessarily understood” his absence from the France group. “After, the selection is the choice of the coach and that’s how it is”, she conceded.
“I remain selectable”
Successive non-summons that leave a bitter taste to the player: “I did not have an explanation. I had answers through what she could say in the media and therefore suddenly, it was the selection at the moment T, that it was necessary to be I continued to perform well to earn my place, that was the only answer I could give. ”
After six good months in the United States, Eugenie Le Sommer is preparing to play the second part of the season in the jersey of Olympique Lyonnais. As Euro 2022 quickly approaches, the striker “remains selectable. As long as I play at my club and perform well. I have nothing to reproach myself with”, assured the top scorer of the Blue.
