World Cup 2022: Varane and Konate affected by the virus, Hernandez spared for the shot

Just two days before the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina this Sunday (4pm), two new French players are suffering. Rafael Varane and Ibrahima Konate are suffering from a viral syndrome that has plagued the group since the beginning of the week. The two men who lined up in the center of defense in the semi-final against Morocco (2-0) have been experiencing symptoms in recent hours. The Manchester United defender is said to be showing mild symptoms so far, while the die-hard Liverpool, who were a strong replacement for Dyot Upamecano against Atlas Lions, are also not feeling well. According to our information, both will be saved for training at 16:00 (18:00 local time).

Without a doubt, this is the same virus that struck Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano this week. In the semi-final, the Juventus midfielder could not even take a place on the bench in the semi-final. The Bayern Munich defender remained on the sidelines, but was listed on the protocol. Kingsley Coman, who did not return during the match, also experienced a state of excitement. Having rested in the hotel on Thursday, he will feel better, but he will not train on Friday either. Finally, Theo Hernandez will remain in treatment after being hit on the knee. At this stage, none of these players have made it out of the finals, but they will be closely monitored over the next 48 hours.

Even if the situation does not bother the headquarters of the Blues yet, she is challenging two days before the final with Argentina. On this Friday’s program, Randal Colo Muani and Ousmane Dembele may have a little more to say at the 2:45 pm press conference.
