Mbock a doubt for France ahead of England Women's Euro clash
Midfielder Grace Geyoro told a press conference that the 30-year-old defender was a doubt for their clash with the Lionesses, who are reigning European champions.
"It's true that Griedge has been training separately, there's no doubt that she's still doubtful - now it's going to depend on the coach, and the doctor too," Geyoro said.
"We know that she's with us in any case, that she's behind us and that she'll continue to be with the group, to support us and encourage us ... and then, of course, the young players who are here. If they're here, it's because they're ready to take over if Griedge isn't here, that's for sure."
France lost to Germany in the semi-finals at the last Euros in 2022 and Geyoro said that she and her teammates, who will also face Netherlands and Wales in Group D, have learned some valuable lessons since then about seizing the moment.
"Of course, our aim is to do better. Three years ago, we weren't the same players. We've gained in experience and maturity too. We're obviously approaching the competition differently ... the lessons we can learn are that we know that every match is important, and that the competition is quite short. It goes by really quickly," she explained.
"We've got a group that's going to be very competitive, which is a bit different from our previous group in England. But no, in any case, we're trying to prepare well for this competition. And we're a bit more experienced now, so we're helping this young generation to feel good and to form a close-knit group."

Gladbach midfielder Neuhaus suspended from first team for 'unacceptable' video
Borussia Moenchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus has been fined and banished from the first team after being filmed while appearing to mock the Bundesliga club's sporting director. In a video posted on social media, Neuhaus could be seen talking to several people wearing Gladbach kits about sporting director Roland Virkus. The 28-year-old appeared to call Virkus "the worst manager in the world" and referenced the sporting director's role in deciding his salary of four million euros ($4.71 million) per year. Gladbach said they had imposed a "heavy" fine on Neuhaus and suspended him from training with the first team for four weeks, with German daily Bild reporting the fine was worth around 100,000 euros. "The behaviour and statements of Florian Neuhaus are damaging to the club and unacceptable," Gladbach's CEO Stefan Stegemann said in a statement on Thursday. "He has damaged the club with his words and deeply disappointed the people involved, which is not compatible with the values of the club." Neuhaus joined Gladbach in 2017 and has made over 200 appearances in all competitions for the club, but mainly featured as a substitute last season and played just 17 times in the league as they finished 10th.

Sarina Wiegman says she has grown into role as England boss as game has changed
ZURICH – Sarina Wiegman is not the same football manager she was when she arrived in England armed with a set of strict rules nearly four years ago, the Dutchwoman said. The 55-year-old, who was fresh off leading the Netherlands to the 2017 European title and the World Cup final in 2019, would not permit players to wear smartwatches for example, since the team would be doing their own health monitoring. It initially did not sit well with players. But Wiegman, whose England squad begin the defence of their Euro title on July 5, said she has grown into her role as the game has changed and the trust of her players has taken root. "I've become a little bit older too, with more experiences in football and in life, and more experience in England. You get to know so much more about the team, about the FA (Football Association), about English football – I think it just becomes more natural," she said. "You have set the tone in the beginning, how you want things... My approach is the same (now), I just worry a little less. In the beginning, I wanted to solve everything, but you can't, as a coach, you just have to let go." Wiegman has a remarkable record in major tournaments. After her successful stint in the Netherlands, she led England to Euro 2022 victory less than a year after her hiring, and then their first appearance in a World Cup final in 2023. She chalked it up to having good teams and great support. "You need players that score goals and prevent goals. That's very basic," she said. "But that's what we're trying to do, create that environment, trying to be the best prepared, and you need a little bit of luck." Wiegman met with reporters at the team's hotel in Zurich for a wide-ranging conversation that covered everything from her favourite British food – Sunday roast – to adapting to life in a new country, her direct demeanour and the difficult job of cutting players. She loves Britain's "massive" sports culture, she said. "All day on TV there's sports, there's either football or there's rugby or something else," said Wiegman. "And football is huge. In every part of the country, you have people that really support one club and it's their life." While people have called her blunt, she does not like that characterisation. She just prefers to be clear and honest with players. "Players know where they stand," midfielder Georgia Stanway said recently. "She always says it the way it is, whether you like it or not, it's something you have to take on the chin." But breaking players' hearts is a part of the job Wiegman hates. "I'm very caring, and that's something not very helpful in this job, because I want to take care of people. But I have the job to make the hard decisions," she said. "As a former player, maybe as a mum, I'm trying not to play into that, 'Oh they must feel horrible'. I need to shut that out. That's one of the most difficult parts of the job. But still, I need to give that clarity. That's my job." The Lionesses, who begin their Group D campaign against France in Zurich, have taken to calling themselves "new England" with seven players who are making their major tournament debut. When asked if a triumphant Euros in Switzerland would be the greatest achievement of her career, Wiegman said that she does not like to compare. "Every tournament on its own is a great achievement," she insisted. REUTERS
