Hard blow for the Blues at the end of the year. After Nedim Remili, it’s Luka Karabatic’s turn to forfeit the next Euro (January 13 to 30 in Hungary and Slovakia). The pivot of PSG, who shone at the last Olympic Games, was injured with his club in early December. But the tests he carried out this week during the internship with the France team in Créteil were not conclusive.
Luka Karabatic was still called last Sunday for the start of preparation for the Euro. His arrival at the House of handball was “concerted between the medical staff of the Parisian club and the French team,” said the press release from the FFHB. The pivot of PSG, assistant captain of Valentin Porte, was subjected to an evaluation protocol allowing a gradual recovery.

“Luka felt a point in his right thigh, it is a recurrence of his muscle pain, noted Emmanuel Bidet, the doctor of the France team. We therefore wanted to perform a thorough examination with an MRI which revealed a grade 1c lesion on Thursday evening. “
In order to strengthen its workforce, Guillaume Gille and his staff called on Theo Monar, 20 years old. The young Nantes resident will have to comply with the health protocol before putting on his blue tunic, the preparation of the France team having been upset from the start by multiple cases of covid, including that of Luka Karabatic’s brother, Nikola. The latter is still expected within the collective, which will face Egypt twice in a friendly in a week before flying to Hungary.
