A little more than 2022 hours before the Qatar World Cup final is held 2022, the French team could have a new problem after their starting central defenders, Raphael Varane and Ibrahima Konaté have presented symptoms of fever, for which they have been added to the sick list that already has five players.
France, which this Sunday will play its second consecutive World Cup final, this time against Argentina, already had Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot on the sick list, who were unable to play the semifinal against Morocco, those two were joined this Thursday by Kingsley Coman and now two other players.
These represent bad news for the French coach Didier Deschamps, since three of his central defenders are on this list, although Upamecano has already overcome the fever and was even on the bench during the game against the team Moroccan, although he did not play because he was out of shape.
In the middle of what seems to be a contagion of some virus, France has denied that it is Covid, although it has been prudent and has separated the sick from the rest of their colleagues.
In this sense, the French coach has indicated that all this discomfort is due to the cold caused by the air conditioners that were installed in Qatar to combat the high temperatures that are registered in the Middle East.
Although these possible casualties cause some concern in the French team that is thinking about the match against Leo Messi’s Argentina, it should also be noted that the squad has important pieces to replace the players, among them, Benjamin Pavard, who could be the right back, while Jules Kounde would move to the center of the defensive saga.
