Handball. Alsatian Yanis Lenne leaves the France group before the Blues come to Strasbourg

Fate befalls Yanis Lenne (28 years old). The Alsatian right winger from Montpellier had already seen his Olympics end prematurely this summer due to an ankle injury. Troubled by back pain for several weeks, the player trained in Sélestat will not prepare for the World Cup with the France team and will therefore not play in Strasbourg against the Czech Republic and Portugal on January 8 and 10.

Yanis Lenne (62 caps, 122 goals) suffered an infiltration and must observe a period of rest. “In this phase of care and rehabilitation, we have agreed that he remains in reserve for the France group and at the disposal of his club,” explains Guillaume Gille, the Blues coach.

The 2024 European champion sees the World Cup (January 14-February 2) move away, even if he could be recalled later to the French team depending on the progress of his injury. Yanis Lenne was not selected during the Blues' last visit to Rhenus in April 2019.

His misfortune will bring happiness to another Alsatian. Called up for the first time, right winger Benjamin Richert (26 years old, Chambéry) should honor his first selections at home, in Strasbourg, next week and seems close to playing his first international competition in the France A team
