Should we worry about the France team from a health point of view? A priori, the situation returns under control, only Kingsley Coman showing himself to be even more impacted than the others. Adrien Rabiot, absent from Wednesday’s match, reappears.
Dayot Upamecano like Adrien Rabiot could not participate in France – Morocco Wednesday (World Cup semi-finals), the latter even forfeiting and unable to sit on the bench. They weren’t the only ones sick, as Kingsley Coman was also affected by the same “cold snap”, as Guy Stéphan simply described it before the match – the Bayern winger didn’t come on. more. For Didier Deschamps, everything that can be controlled is, as the coach of the Blues explained after the meeting: “The temperatures have rather dropped, the air conditioning is on full blast and there are feverish states. We all do be careful, we take precautions and we adapt. Everything that is viral is transmitted, we have taken precautions so that there is no contact.
The coach wanted to be reassuring that everyone, starting with Adrien Rabiot, will be available on Sunday for the final against Argentina. He must run Thursday evening, like Upamecano but unlike Coman who will remain spared (according to information from L’Equipe). FIFA no longer requires anti-Covid tests, while the pandemic is circulating more and more in Qatar (like everywhere else). Difficult, therefore, to know what is really happening around these diseases among the Blues, where the subject will inevitably occupy the media space during the various press conferences which will take place in the next three days. On the side of the small sores, Theo Hernandez causes the most concern, but not yet in view of the final. Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, they just have to recover.
