On June 29, according to French sports outlet RMC Sport, winger Kingsley Coman will temporarily leave the French national team’s training base in Paderborn to travel to Sweden, as his girlfriend is due to give birth to their fourth child.
After three group stage matches, Coman only came on as a substitute for the last 20 minutes of the 0-0 draw with the Netherlands. Despite Dembele’s inability to produce efficient attacking for France, Coman’s fitness remained inadequate to cope with the high intensity of the European Championship. Earlier, L’Équipe reported that Coman had told the French medical team that his current physical condition was not even good enough to start a reserve team match.
With Coman’s girlfriend due to give birth to their fourth child, the French coaching staff was happy to grant him the opportunity to be present for this important moment in his life. According to RMC Sport, after the birth of his child, Coman will immediately return to Germany and join the team in Düsseldorf, where France will face their Round of 16 opponent, Belgium.
