Kingsley Coman has reportedly left France's Euros camp to watch the birth of his fourth child just days before his side's huge last-16 clash with Belgium in Monday.
According to reports in France, Coman — who has only featured off the bench in one of Les Bleus' three group stage games so far — travelled to Sweden late on Friday night to join his fashion influencer wife Sabrina Duvad ahead of the birth.
France went into the tournament as one of the favourites to win Euro 2024 but have endured a frustrating start, finishing second in Group D behind Austria after two draws and one win.
Coman is expected to return to the group very quickly after witnessing the birth, according to French outlet RMC Sport, with Didier Deschamps side set to face Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Co in the round of 16 in just three days time.
Before meeting Duvad in 2019, the French international had two children, Leyana and Kaylee, with his former model wife Sephora Goignan.
Their relationship ended controversially after Goignan filed a domestic violence complaint against the footballer, who — after admitting guilt — was fined and ordered to pay her legal fees.
Duvad, who has 50,000 followers on her Instagram page, was active on social media in the build-up to the birth of their first child together — Coman's third overall — in 2021, but decided not to reveal the baby's name publicly.
Ironically, Coman also left the France camp midway through Euro 2020 so that he and Duvad could be together for the birth of their first child together.
It appears the couple have opted for more privacy during Duvad's second pregnancy, with the fashion influencer not posting a picture to her Instagram page for over 38 weeks.
Man City superstar Phil Foden left England's Blankenhain base on Wednesday to fly home and watch the birth of his third child with girlfriend Rebecca Cooke.
Foden is expected to start again for Gareth Southgate during England last-16 clash with Slovakia on Sunday, with Kobbie Mainoo on track to make his first start of the tournament.
