Axel Witsel is out of the Red Devils’ match against Romania on the 2nd day of Group E of Euro 2024 on Saturday in Cologne (9:00 p.m.). Coach Domenico Tedesco confirmed his absence at a press conference on Friday.
Witsel felt discomfort in his groin at the end of training on Friday and did not make the trip to Cologne. “It was decided with the medical staff that Axel would stay at base camp to work with the physiotherapists. He will have an MRI on Saturday morning because it is the same problem he has experienced in recent days. His tournament is not not finished but we don’t want to take any risks We hope it’s nothing serious,” Tedesco said.
Forgotten from the German coach’s selections since his induction in March 2023, Witsel was called by Tedesco for the Euro, in particular to overcome the problems in central defense. “It’s obviously a tile. We expected a lot from Axel and that’s why we selected him,” added Tedesco.
