France's central defender Livia Jean remains an injury doubt for Monday's decisive Group B match against Poland because of the sprained ankle she suffered on the opening day of this UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship.
Question mark
The Stade Briochin FF player is still struggling with the right ankle that she injured during the second half of France's 1-0 win against Spain, leaving a question mark against her availability for the game in Reykjavik. Jean, who will hope to celebrate her 19th birthday on Tuesday with her team qualified for the semi-finals, had to watch Friday's 3-1 defeat by England from the sidelines. That result left Les Bleuettes, who are second in Group B, unsure of their place in the last four going into the last round of pool matches.
