Since they are in Qatar, the slightest sore is scrutinized closely in the delegation of the Blues. After the packages of Christopher Nkunku, Karim Benzema and Lucas Hernandez, all precautions are taken to prevent a new glitch from thwarting the plans of the France team. This Thursday, when we thought the group was complete, it was finally without Kingsley Coman that training continued. The Bavarian would feel discomfort in the hip. The staff of the Blues had therefore chosen to spare him 48 hours from facing Denmark for the shock of Group D.
Without his case inspiring the apparent fear of his partners, the former Parisian returned indoors in peace just after the warm-up, accompanied by the physical trainer Cyril Moine. The day before, with the substitutes for the match against Australia (4-1), he had taken part in an opposition against the Qatari club of Al Markhiya (division 1). “It can happen that a player does not do a session or even two,” said Didier Deschamps Monday at a press conference. Coman is expected to train normally again on Friday.
Camavinga left again
For nearly an hour, the day’s training took place under the gaze of well-known personalities from the world of football: Strasbourg coach Julien Stéphan was in the stands, as was former Spanish international Santi Cazorla. The first found the former Rennais Eduardo Camavinga and Ousmane Dembélé, while the second exchanged for a long time with Olivier Giroud whom he rubbed shoulders with at Arsenal (2012 – 2018).
The holders of the first game were treated to a light session when the others ended with a workshop in front of goal. They were able to work several phases of attack through the corridors. On the left, we still found Camavinga. Already tried in this position on Wednesday during the friendly match, the Madrid midfielder could well be a serious option behind Théo Hernandez, the only real specialist in the position since the injury of his brother Lucas.
Raphaël Varane also participated in the entire session. Recovered from his hamstring injury, the former Lensois is applying for a place against Denmark even if it is with the “substitutes” that he has still finished training. Before returning to the locker room, the vice-captain of the Blues discussed several minutes with coach Didier Deschamps.
