Amandine Henry, defender of Lyon, has been left out of the France squad for the 2022 European Championship, just one week after winning the Champions League final.
France coach Corinne Diacre announced her squad on Monday with Eugenie Le Sommer, France’s all-time leading scorer, another notable absence.
Henry led the team during the 2019 World Cup but lost his fortunes with Diacre due to a number of public controversies in the aftermath of the tournament.

The call lasted 14 or 15 seconds. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life. I was shocked. She said, ‘Amandine, you know my list is out tomorrow.’ You will not be given the latest offers. “I was silent for a couple of seconds,” said Henry, “and then said, ‘Okay. I wish you a good match. Farewell “.
Diacre later said that the decision to exclude her was based on sporting reasons, but Henry responded to the claim, saying that the reason was that it raised problems that the players were having with the coach.
Henry scored the opening goal in the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final with a stunning shot that was named UEFA Goal of the Season.
