World Cup – Hit in the thigh, Frank Ntilikina left the field in the 4th quarter of the game against Lithuania.
A big cloud has come to eclipse the radiant sun that has reigned over the French team since the start of preparation for the World Cup: Franck Ntilikina injured his thigh on Friday evening against Lithuania. “There is nothing to say at the moment because it has not yet been examined. We asked our doctor (Geoffrey Wandji), but he hasn’t seen it yet. We are worried, of course” summed up Vincent Collet after this 5th victory for the Blues.
Since then, Ntilikina has passed exams and according to our information, the new leader of the Hornets suffers from a strain in the back of the thigh. She would be level II, and three weeks of healing would be needed to cure her. As the World Cup starts in 13 days, it seems complicated, even risky, to take him to Asia.

“I really hope it won’t be bad, Collet told L’Equipe, because he still had a very good match. We see that in our device, it is very important. His association with Élie Okobo, in particular, is very rich. It offers us a real alternative with the major five. And these are things that I would like to keep. »
While the Blues are going to prepare their suitcases to leave for Japan, here they are with two injuries… since Mathias Lessort has not played any preparation meeting.
