France loses one of its attacking references. Christopher Nkunku, R.B. Leipzig striker, has seen his World Cup come to an end before it has even begun. In an action with Camavinga in training on Tuesday, the striker went to the ground with a sore left knee. After undergoing medical tests, the French national team has issued a statement explaining that Nkunku will not be able to take part in the World Cup and is leaving the training camp.

“Christopher Nkunku will not take part in the World Cup. The RB Leipzig striker left Tuesday’s training session before the end with an injury to his left knee. Unfortunately, radiological examinations carried out in the evening revealed that it was a sprain.”

The French Football Federation says that a medical file has been sent to FIFA so that the injured player can be replaced. The name of Christopher Nkunku’s replacement will be announced once FIFA has validated the medical file. According to RMC Sport, the replacement could be Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani.

Nkunku’s absence joins those of Kimpembe, Pogba and Kant, three other key players in the French national team who will not be able to defend the title in Qatar.

Unfortunately, it seems that the same fate will not befall one of the world’s star strikers, Sadio Mane, who looks set to miss out on playing for Senegal in Qatar 2022 after having to leave the game against Werder Bremen with a knee tendon problem.

Mane’s absence has not been made official, but it is unlikely that he will see him at the World Cup despite being the man who secured his team’s last-gasp passage to the tournament, which begins on November 20.

Brady is clearly the most famous and important player who will be present at the Allianz Arena this Sunday, but recent events are not necessarily the best news for the seven-time Super Bowl winner.

Bundesliga: Player kicked in the face by his own physio just seconds after head collision


VfL Bochum were hammered 3-0 away at Dortmund on Saturday. Things don’t look for the newly promoted side who have won just two games in 13, losing ten and drawing just one.

Things got almost comically bad in the second half for the team. With the score line already at 3-0, two Bodchun players (Anthony Losilla and Cristian Gamboa) clashed heads in a slight mix up as they attempted to stop a dangerous Dortmund counter attack in the 76th minute.

Both players fell to the floor after the heavy blow and the referee stopped the game shortly after to allow them to be attended my medical staff. But, as the medic ran over to Losilla, he slipped over and ended up kicking the player in the head. Fortunately, he was just wearing flat trainers and not studs, meaning that blow was softened slightly.
