France's national team captain, Wendie Renard, faces the unfortunate possibility of sitting out the crucial Women's World Cup group stage match against Brazil on Saturday due to a calf injury. The 33-year-old defender sustained the strain during France's previous match against Jamaica in Sydney, where the game ended in a 0-0 draw. Despite the injury, Renard displayed immense determination and played the full 90 minutes, trying to secure a victory for her team.


The draw against the Jamaican team came as a surprise and has increased the pressure on France as they head into their second Group F game in Brisbane. The French squad, considered one of the tournament favorites, has encountered a rather shaky start to their campaign, and securing a positive result against Brazil becomes crucial for their progression in the tournament.


Adding to the injury concerns, striker Naomie Feller is also facing uncertainty after missing training due to a thigh knock suffered in the match against Jamaica. On a more positive note, midfielder Selma Bacha, who sprained her left ankle during a friendly match against Australia two weeks ago, is back in training. Additionally, Elisa de Almeida, who was unable to participate in the previous game due to a calf problem, has returned to training as well.


With Wendie Renard's potential absence, the French coaching staff will need to carefully assess their defensive options and formulate a solid game plan to tackle the formidable Brazilian team, who made an impressive start to their campaign with a convincing 4-0 victory over Panama in their opening match.


As the tournament progresses, France's ability to cope with these injury setbacks and perform at their best will be crucial in determining their success in the Women's World Cup. Fans and supporters eagerly await updates on Renard's condition and hope to see her back on the field leading her team with her exemplary skills and leadership.
