Paris: France fans celebrate advancing to the 2022 World Cup finals (Reuters)
The preparations of the French team for the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina are far from ideal.
Didier Deschamps had to pass the training session tonight (Friday) without five players, four of whom started in the semi-final against Morocco.
Rafael Veran, Ibrahima Konata and Kingsley Coman are on the sick list in the tricolor's squad and apart from them, Theo Hernandez (knee injury) and Orleans Tshoumani (thigh injury) were also absent from training.
As you may remember, in the semi-final against Morocco, France had to do without Dayo Ofmakano and Adrien Rabiot, who were ill.
The brakeman was included in the squad, but the midfielder did not go to the game with the world champion who overcame the disadvantages and qualified for the final with 0:2.
Both are already fit and trained as usual, but the virus is still circulating in the camp.
Therefore, in France it is reported that the national team has begun to take precautions such as masks, when the disease or bacteria spreads in the tricolor's squad.
In "Lakip" they claimed that the reason for the absence of Opemcano and Rabio was the air conditioning that caused them to catch a cold, while in "Bain Sport" they claim that the French believe that they were infected by the England players during the match against them in the quarter-finals.
At least he's back to training.

Osman Dembele was sent to the press conference today and responded to the issue: "We are not afraid of the virus. Dayo and Adrian suffered from headaches and stomachaches, I gave them tea with honey and ginger. We hope that everyone will be fine until the final. I approached Dayo to ask how he was when he was sick in the room and I was With a mask. We are not afraid, but we are taking precautions."
Tshoumani addressed the situation earlier and said: "We are more careful now. There is more alcohol gel on the tables, we hope that everyone will be healthy until the final because we want all the power we have at our disposal."
