France entered the World Cup 2026 round‑of‑16 clash against Paraguay in Houston with midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni forced to leave the field after sustaining a muscle strain. Coach Didier Deschamps explained that the heat contributed to the injury and that recovery could take several weeks.
His absence weakened France’s creative engine in midfield, putting their chances of reaching the quarter‑finals at risk. The side attempted tactical adjustments with the remaining players, but the void left by Tchouaméni was evident throughout the match.
