Varane injury update. According to manager Didier Deschamps, Raphael Varane might be available for France’s first World Cup game against Australia. By praising Varane, France’s boss Deschamps has allayed concerns about his team’s defensive inadequacies heading into the World Cup. Presnel Kimpembe’s hamstring injury was enough to keep the PSG player out of the French team entirely, so Varane’s availability will be essential for Deschamps. The PSG player hasn’t played since departing injured in Manchester United’s 1-1 away tie with Chelsea on October 22.
He still has responsibilities to complete in the upcoming days, according to Deschamps, who said during a press conference that “he is working with the ball and performing well.” He’s good, thank you. He’s grinning right now. We won’t compromise in any way. He’s anticipated to be available for the opening match. Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konate may also be taken into consideration by Deschamps. France is the current World Cup champion after winning the competition in 1998 for the first time since 2002, he continued, “I already know what I would do against Australia with regard to the marriage.
The only center-back picked to the team this year with any World Cup experience is Varane. Konate, Upamecano, Jules Kounde, Benoit Badiashile, and Axel Disasi will all be looking to make their debut at the 2018 competition. Varane’s recovery must be hoped for by France’s coach in order for his squad to play Australia on November 22. As they aim to win their second consecutive championship, Deschamps, who will be in charge of this team for the third World Cup, will be striving for a winning start to the season.
