Kurt Zouma has withdrawn from the France Under 21 squad due to injury according to Get Footballs News France.
Alongside captain Aymeric Laporte, the pair of starting centre back’s have both withdrawn from Pierre Mankowski’s squad that is due to face Scotland and Ukraine in their 2017 UEFA U-21 European Championship qualification group later on this week and into next week.
It is unsure as of right now the extent of the injury, but Chelsea will be hoping the Frenchman will be fit newly-promoted Norwich City in two weeks time.
Zouma made his France debut back in March but has been in and out of the squad since, regularly called up to the under 21’s where he will get a lot more game time.
He’s also been in and out of the Chelsea squad, having spent the last few games at right back instead of his natural centre-back role. Should Zouma be playing more for club and country? Let us know your thoughts.
