On June 13, according to RMC Sport, an unknown virus may be spreading within the French national team’s training base, with players and staff members reporting discomfort.
The French team arrived in Germany on Wednesday and immediately dove into their preparations, conducting media interviews followed by an afternoon of acclimatization and their first training session. On Thursday afternoon, the team held an open practice in Paderborn, which was attended by 4,000 fans.
However, RMC Sport reports that starting from Wednesday evening, some players and staff experienced discomfort, displaying symptoms akin to a cold. Others woke up on Thursday morning with cramps and headaches, raising concerns about a possible virus outbreak within the camp.
RMC adds that while the current situation is not considered severe, it is being closely monitored, especially with the European Championship set to kick off soon. France will play their first group match on June 18 against Austria.
