“[Cascarino] underwent tests in midweek, which … revealed a partial rupture of the correct anterior cruciate ligament,” Lyon mentioned in a statement. The French club added that the winger will need to have to undergo reconstructive surgery and will be out “for quite a few months”.
“Regrettably, I will not be in a position to take element in the Globe Cup this summer season with my group mates, whom I will be supporting from right here,” Cascarino mentioned on Instagram.
France, who are also without the need of Marie-Antoinette Katoto, will be seeking to win their maiden Globe Cup at this year’s showpiece occasion, which is becoming co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia from July 20-Aug. 20.
They commence their campaign in Group F against Jamaica on July 23 just before facing Brazil and Panama.
France are not the only group to be hit by main injuries ahead of the Globe Cup.
The U.S. women’s national group, winners of the final two Globe Cups, will be without the need of forwards Mallory Swanson and Catarina Macario due to knee injuries.
European champions England, meanwhile, will certainly be missing captain Leah Williamson and forward Fran Kirby when Euro 2022 player of the tournament Beth Mead is also unlikely to be match right after injuring her ACL final December.
