Olympic silver medalist in Tokyo a year ago, Moustapha Fall will not be able to hope to glean a new medal this year with the Blues, the Euro 2022.
Indeed, the medical staff of theFrench team announced that his 30-year-old pivot was forfeited for the rest of the preparation, and therefore for the Euro (September 1-18), since he suffered a thigh injury in training.
A blow for the Olympiakos player, who will not be replaced in the pre-selection, as was the case after the withdrawals of Victor Wembanyama and Andrew Albicy (who could however find the France group).
In contrast, Ishmael Kamagate was nevertheless called in reinforcement by Vincent Collet, in order to play the training partners. From now on, unless there is a new injury, we know the identity of the three pivots who will represent the Blues at the Euro: Rudy Gobert, Vincent Poirier and Mam Jaiteh.
