  • Eduardo Camavinga had a disappointing performance against Denmark in France's final UEFA Nations League group game on Sunday
  • Goals from Dolberg and Skov Olsen handed France its second loss in their last three outings but it was the performance of Camavinga which came under the spotlight after the blast of the whistle
  • France, who will be attempting to defend their 2018 World Cup trophy later this year in Qatar, has been blighted with injuries to many of their starters

Real Madrid youngster Eduardo Camavinga had a night to forget as he was hurled off by Didier Deschamps at halftime following a 'poor' first-half display.

Camavinga, who became the second youngest midfielder to start a competitive game for France, dropped one, if not the worst performance in a France shirt against Denmark on Sunday evening.

The 19-year-old's sub-par performance against Denmark was a microcosm of the entire team display, who looked disjointed and out-of-sort in their final UEFA Nations League fixture.

Goals from Dolberg and Skov Olsen ensured Les Bleus finish in a disappointing third spot and invariably mean Deschamps' charges wont be able to defend their Nations League title.

@Thfc_ConteX reckons Camavinga is an over-hyped player:

"People hyped this guy way too much."

@OnaopemipoAdey argues the Madrid midfielder is not ripe for the national team yet:

"He is not yet ripe to be a starter that's all I can see in his issue."
