Simple preventative action or ticking time bomb? This Wednesday, the French basketball team announced that Evan Fournier would not be in the game for tonight’s match against Lithuania in Orléans. On Twitter, we invoke a sprained ankle from the back during the victory against Venezuela.
It’s a blow for the New York Knicks player, who was counting on this preparation for the World Cup to get back into the rhythm of a competition. In his NBA franchise, the Frenchman has only played 27 games this season. Among the Blues, the native of Charenton must regain his status as an attacking leader. This Wednesday evening, it is Joël Ayayi who will replace Evan Fournier in the 12 selected. The new Nanterre player will honor his first selection for the A.
