Tough news for France – Prandi and Villeminot both longterm injured

France defeated Sweden by large numbers but suffered severely in the aftermath. Elohim Prandi injured his shoulder, meaning he will be out for several months and will miss the WC, according to Handnews sourcehttps://handnews.fr/2024/edf-m-elohim-prandi-blesse-a-lepaule-et-forfait-pour-le-mondial/. Kyllian Villeminot will rehabilitate the hamstring for the rest of the season.

If Sweden received a blow in terms of the result, France had some hard player experiences in Orleans Wednesday evening.

Prandi was only able to participate in the first minute of the first friendly after the Olympics before dislocating his shoulder.

The left back, who arrived in excellent shape as one of three nominees for player of the month in Starligue, must gather strength during an involuntary break. Paris Saint-Germain’s website gives a forecast of “several months” and Handnews is already announcing a World Cup cancellation

In the second half, Kyllian Villeminot got hurt and was helped off the pitch with what turned out to be a torn hamstring.

The centre back who experienced a similar injury situation less than a year ago was further affected by the medical examination. There will hardly be any more handball in 2024/25 for the 26-year-old.
