Ousmane Dembele has been ruled out of the European Championship because of a knee injury, the French soccer federation said on Monday. Dembele sustained the injury during a 30-minute appearance as a substitute before being replaced late in the team's 1-1 draw with Hungary on Saturday.

The French team said Dembele had X-rays at a hospital in Budapest on Sunday. "The length of recovery time needed is incompatible with keeping him in the squad," the team said.

Teams can replace injured goalkeepers but not outfield players once they have played their first match in the tournament.

Dembele's exit means France coach Didier Deschamps will have only 25 players to choose from for the rest of Euro 2020. France lead Group F and will next face Portugal in Budapest on Wednesday.

Dembele plays for Barcelona. The French federation said its doctors talked with staff at the Spanish club before making the decision to release him.

The 24-year-old was a member of the France squad that won the 2018 World Cup.

Scotland's Billy Gilmour tests Covid positive

Scotland will be without the services of Billy Gilmour when they face Croatia in their final Euro 2020 group stage clash. The Chelsea midfielder tested positive for Covid-19, and no other close contact has been identified from the Scotland camp.

"The Scottish FA can confirm that a member of the Scotland national team playing squad, Billy Gilmour, has tested positive for Covid-19. Having liaised with Public Health England since the positive test was recorded, Billy will now self-isolate for 10 days and therefore miss tomorrow's Uefa Euro 2020 Group D match against Croatia at Hampden," SFA said in a statement.

Scotland lost their opening game versus Czech Republic 0-2 on June 14, and followed it up with a goalless draw versus old foes England. Their next face-off is versus 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia.
