The French Football Federation announced that young defender Jérémie Jacquet missed the match against Belgium, on Monday, in the European Nations League, due to suffering from a muscle strain in the posterior tendons of his left knee.
Jacquet (21 years old) started in the last two matches for the French national team, as the Roosters beat Belgium with a goal and then tied 1-1 with Italy, but the Liverpool English defender will miss the fourth and final match for his country.
The French Football Federation statement did not specify the time required for Jeremy Jacquet to recover from his injury, but it is expected that the player will undergo medical examinations upon returning to his club.

Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe is subjected to criticism from the team's fans during the international break after he was injured with the France national team during the match against Turkey, and returned to the Spanish capital, but he left the training headquarters to take a negative leave.
Mbappe remained silent regarding these criticisms, but he responded to the allegations of a report from the Spanish “Radio Marca” correspondent, in which he claimed that the French star was angry with the Real Madrid management for not launching a campaign to support him in the media in the race to win the “Golden Ball” award for the best player in the world, on the sidelines of the derby match against Atletico Madrid.
He pointed out that Mbappe's condition in the derby was evidence of his frustration with Real Madrid officials, pointing out that he was angry, and also expressed his dissatisfaction with Zinedine Zidane, the coach of the French national team, who also reserved his support in the media due to his feeling of embarrassment in light of Ousmane Dembélé also competing for the prestigious award.
Kylian Mbappe responded to this news via a post by Radio Marca on Instagram. He wrote: “Yes, well, yes, and I was angry with the great aunt too!”, along with laughing emojis.
