Another bad news for the France team. Already eliminated after their two defeats in two matches (against Canada and Latvia), the Blues will be deprived of Rudy Gobert (affected in an ankle) and Moustapha Fall (victim of a toothache) during their meeting against Lebanon , this Tuesday (11:45 a.m., to be followed live with commentary on our site). This is the third and last group match for France, which will play two more afterwards, to define the ranking places, from 17th to 32nd.
Mathias Lessort will be left to rest until the end of the World Cup so as not to take any risks after his return from an ankle injury. As a reminder, he had been absent from the preparation matches because of this ankle injury, returning just in time for the competition.
