Brice Samba
32-Year-Old
Rennes
Ligue 1
OUT
Injury Calf
Est. Return 8/23/2026
Won't face England
Samba (calf) is out for Saturday's match against England due to a calf injury, according to Hugo Delom of L'Equipe.
ANALYSIS
Samba had to cut training short for France ahead of their third-place match and will now miss out, with the injury too much to play through. The good news for the team is that he is unlikely to see any time either way, with Mike Maignan likely to continue as their starter. This will be a bigger concern for Rennes as the league season approaches, hoping this is nothing serious.
