Coupet Suffers “Mysterious” Injury…Again
By: Inara | June 4th, 2007
A day after the France – Ukraine match, reports circulated that Gregory Coupet had to drop out of the squad due to an “unspecified” injury. He’ll also miss the match against Georgia on Wednesday.
What this means is that Coupet is starting his holiday a little earlier than his teammates (the Lyon website says that he just needs 15 days of rest), and also, that he has a history of ill-timed injuries (last October, he re-injured his hand during the Scotland match and had to miss the match against Faroe Islands).
Today, Reuters reported that Coupet had a slight abdominal injury, but tongues are already wagging because of the shady way his injury was reported. After all, why wait two days to clarify a small and obvious injury?
The thing is that Coupet and Domenech don’t get along. In fact, Coupet publicly stated that he’d rather spend his Friday nights being hung upside down by his toes than spend an extra minute of his time with Domenech. So it’s entirely possible that those two got into a falling out for the umpteenth time, and Coupet did something stupid, like leave the team.
It wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened.
