Tanguy Ndombele will not be called up to the France squad for the upcoming international break, after testing positive for Covid-19.
L’Equipe report the news and say the midfielder tested positive a few days ago, and subsequently began a two week period of isolation. That will see him unavailable for both his club and country during that fortnight.
Didier Deschamps is set to name his squad on Thursday afternoon, and L’Equipe suggest there was a good chance of the Tottenham player being included in the selection.
After a difficult first season with Spurs following his big move from Lyon, Ndombele has been repeatedly linked with a move away from the club.
The French media have reported on supposed issues between the player and his manager Jose Mourinho, and that could be a motivation for an exit.
In Italy it’s been reported that Serie A clubs are keen, and that Tottenham could even use Ndombele in a swap deal this summer.
