Kingsley Coman leaves France team and Euro to attend his wife’s birth in Sweden

FOOTBALL – Ticket validated… for Sweden. After the narrow victory of the French team against Belgium (1-0), the management of the Blues announced the departure of its striker Kingsley Coman for Sweden this Monday, July 1st.

A slightly expected departure since the Bayern Munich player is expecting a happy event, according to many media. For this reason, it was indicated on Monday evening that he should ” join his partner in Sweden ».

An event that should bring back memories to the supporters of the French team since Kingsley Coman had already been absent for the same reason during Euro 2021. Alongside his partner Sabrina, the French player should therefore attend the birth of his fourth child. The second with his current partner.

Back against Portugal?

Now, the big unknown for the former PSG player concerns his return to the French team, he who only played twenty short minutes during this Euro 2024 in Germany. It was against the Netherlands, on June 21. The return date of Kingsley Coman is not yet “fixed”the Blues management clarified on this subject.

So it is with or without him that Didier Deschamps’ men will prepare for their next match: a top-of-the-table quarter-final against the Portuguese, Friday July 5 at 9 p.m.

Still lacking offensive realism, the French team once again did without Kingsley Coman against Belgium on Monday evening. However, it was thanks to a substitute that the Blues secured their ticket to the quarter-finals. A shot from the pivot by Randal Kolo Muani, finally deflected by Jan Vertonghen, which was enough to fool the Red Devils’ defense at the end of the match.
