France drop Renard, Le Sommer and Dali in shock cull before Women’s Euros
Laurent Bonadei drops trio from Nations League squad
It is not a spur of the moment decision, says France coach
France have dropped their captain Wendie Renard, their vice-captain Eugénie Le Sommer and the experienced midfielder Kenza Dali for their upcoming Nations League games with little prospect of either making a return for this summer’s Euros.
Laurent Bonadei’s side face Switzerland and Iceland in the international window. There had been reports of the trio being left out but the announcement still came as a shock. France are one of the favourites for the European Championship in Switzerland but have been drawn in a tough group with England, the Netherlands and Wales.
