France Captain Griedge Mbock Faces Fitness Battle Ahead of Euro Clash

France's national women's football team is facing an uncertain time as their captain, Griedge Mbock, struggles to shake off a calf injury before Saturday's crucial Women's Euro Group D matchup against England.

Midfielder Grace Geyoro confirmed during a press conference that Mbock's participation remains doubtful, highlighting that her fitness will largely depend on the decisions made by the team's coach and medical staff. Regardless, Mbock's presence continues to motivate her teammates, as she offers support from the sidelines.

The team aims to improve on their previous performance in the last Euros, where they reached the semi-finals but were ultimately defeated by Germany. With increased experience and maturity, France is poised to tackle Group D, which also features the Netherlands and Wales, with renewed vigor and a cohesive team spirit.
