First Selection, a Goal, and a Serious Injury for Zaire Emery

In the match against Gibraltar during the 9th round of Euro 2024 qualifiers, 17-year-old Warren Zaïre-Emery scored a goal before getting injured. At halftime, Didier Deschamps provided updates on the young player’s injury on TF1.

Sixteen minutes on the field, and Warren Zaïre Emery, the youngest player for Les Bleus since 1941, not only scored his first goal but also sustained an injury.

Didier Deschamps wasn’t very optimistic at halftime, stating, « His ankle has swollen significantly. He will undergo examinations, hoping it’s not too serious for him. That’s the only downside of this halftime. »

Later, the verdict came at the end of the match: « The examination is reassuring; there is no fracture. There is a significant sprain, but at least we can rule out immediate concerns about it. »
