It’s a huge blow for the French women’s football team as their star midfielder Amandine Henry has been ruled out of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup due to a calf injury.
The 28-year-old, who captains the French side, has been a key figure in the team’s success in recent years. She was part of the squad that won the SheBelieves Cup in 2018 and was also part of the team that finished fourth at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Henry has been suffering from a calf injury since April and had been receiving treatment in an attempt to be fit for the tournament. However, the injury has not responded to treatment and she has been forced to withdraw from the squad.
The French team have been dealt a major blow as Henry is one of their most experienced players and her absence will be sorely felt. She is known for her leadership and her ability to control the midfield, which will be a big loss for the team.
The French team have already been hit by injuries to other key players, including defender Griedge Mbock Bathy and forward Eugenie Le Sommer. They will now have to make do without Henry’s presence in the squad.
The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held in France from June 7th to July 7th. The French team will be hoping that the absence of Henry does not affect their chances of success at the tournament.
