#2 Theo once skipped international duty to visit the beach
Trending
Although Theo has spent his career playing for France’s youth teams – he has played from Under-18 level through to U20 level – he has caused controversy over the course of the last week by snubbing the Under-21 side.
Head coach Sylvain Ripoll had expected him to show for training on May 31, but it quickly emerged via social media that the player had instead elected to visit the beaches of Marbella with team-mate Carlos Viragay.
It now seems probable that he will switch international allegiance from France to Spain. Julen Lopetegui, boss of La Roja, did not rule out the possibility when quizzed over it this week, though he did note that the player will have to secure Spanish citizenship before it is possible.
