After qualifying for the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, beating Morocco with goals from Theo Hernández and Kolo Muani, the French concentrated on Argentina, which they will face this Sunday in Lusail, in search of their third world title and the second in a row.
However, it is not all good news for Didier Deschamps, as more people affected by the “camel virus” were added to the physical casualties, a viral outbreak that little has been said about in Qatar 2022 but that would be paying bills to the current champion. Several players missed training this Friday due to fever.
According to the French newspaper L’Equipe, Deschamps’ team did not have five players in the last training session, three of them affected by the virus. They are Kingsley Coman, Raphael Varane, and Ibrahima Konaté.
With Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot, affected in days past but already recovered for the final, France trained this Friday thinking about the final, yes, with the absences of Aurelien Tchuameni and Theo Hernández, due to physical issues. The first suffered a bruised hip and the second a blow to the knee. Both performed differentiated work with kinesiology.
This Saturday, the French National Team will practice before the game against Argentina, in which they hope to deliver good news.
