Thomas Heurtel, Nando De Colo, and Fabien Causeur won’t be able to join the French NT’s preparations for the September FIBA Qualifiers windows, as all three are back in training with their respective teams ahead of the new season.
As reported by L’Equipe, the French NT will lack the three international players, though they most likely will participate in the two games against Bulgaria and Finland.
Not only that, but at least seven of the 18 players called, including Andrew Albicy, Louis Labeyrie, Mathias Lessort and Vincent Poirier, won’t be available for the Paris-Coubertin tournament scheduled from September 7 to 9, as they will be released by their teams on the 10th.
In order to fill the missing spots, Vincent Poirier called Jonathan Rousselle and Mouhammadou Jaiteh to compete with the team in the tournament.
