Brest goalkeeper Cleopatra Darleux, injured knee mid-October, could finally be restored to the Euro.
Affected knee ligament in the Champions League against Rostov-on-Don, the absence of Cleopatra Darleux was initially estimated at two months.
It was then bloody for the Euro 2018 which begins on November 29 in France. And we feared worse. But the exams were reassuring. Cleopatra Darleux will not need to spend on billiards. Its unavailability was finally estimated at the end of last week at five weeks. It leaves a slim hope that it will be restored to the Euro. Thin indeed, but it exists.
In any case the national coach, Olivier Krumbholz, has not yet made a final cross on the presence of the Brest nurse in selection: "According to the medical advice, it can be in recovery at the time of preparation, has-it- he indicated this Thursday morning. Deadlines are given, sometimes it's a little better, sometimes a little less well. We are on deadlines that are very fair. But depending on the evolution of her knee, healing, or she can accelerate or not. If the conditions are very favorable, it is still likely to be operational. But if it has changed little in ten days, we will know that it is permanently unavailable.
Cleopatra Darleux has started a race against the clock.
