BRISBANE, July 28 (Reuters) – France captain Wendie Renard remains an injury doubt for their crunch Women’s World Cup clash against Brazil, coach Herve Renard said, adding that he will leave it late to made a decision on the defender’s availability.
Wendie Renard sustained a calf injury during France’s opening goalless draw with Jamaica on Sunday but still played the full 90 minutes. The 33-year-old centre back trained with the squad ahead of Saturday’s match at Lang Park.
France last exited the World Cup in the group stage in 2003 – they did not qualify for the 2007 tournament – but defeat by Group F leaders Brazil on Sunday could leave them on the brink of elimination.
