Will Kurt Zouma stop playing for France after his cat abuse? Coach Didier Deschamps announced possible consequences.
West Ham defender Kurt Zouma is now at risk of being kicked out of the France national team after the scandalous video in which he abused his cats. This was announced by coach Didier Deschamps himself.
“It’s something unacceptable, intolerable, an unspeakable cruelty. These images are shocking and unbearable,” said the Equipe Tricolore coach during the French Cup draw France 3 shocked by Zouma’s action.

“It can happen when players make mistakes that I don’t call them up for a while. That can happen here too,” Deschamps continued. This happened to Karim Benzema, who had not been considered for France for years.
But leaving the national team would not be the only consequence for Zouma. In addition to a “highest possible” fine from his employer West Ham United, outfitter adidas also ended its collaboration with the 27-year-old. In addition, Zouma even faces a prison sentence.
