On July 8, according to L’Équipe, Thuram, who was hit in the Portugal-France game, was examined by the team doctor and confirmed to be unharmed and still available for the upcoming semi-final.
In Friday’s quarter-final between France and Portugal, Thuram did not start, and the Inter forward came on for the starting striker, Muani, close to the 90th minute. During the game, Thuram was hit during a tackle. Because he had previously experienced serious injuries in similar locations, there was great concern among the French about whether his physical condition would be affected. Today, Thuram underwent a medical examination arranged by the national team doctor. The results showed that the injury was minor, and he can still participate in team training. This result gave Deschamps a sigh of relief, as the starting Muani did not perform as expected, and Thuram still has the chance to win back his starting spot in the semi-final.
Despite his impressive performance at Inter Milan last season, Thuram has neither scored nor assisted in this European Championship. In Deschamps’ offensive system, Thuram has yet to find the same dominance he displayed at his club.
