The Blues trained, behind closed doors, this Sunday at the Olympic stadium in Kiev (Ukraine).
Aurélien Tchouaméni, victim of a big blow on the foot the day before during the draw against the Ukrainians (1-1), did not participate in this session like many holders.
The Monaco midfielder remained in care.
The Blues staff were not very worried about the nature of his injury, and despite the very short delay between the two meetings (three days), he should take his place on Tuesday against Finland on Tuesday.
In the event of a forfeit, Didier Deschamps will have the choice between Jordan Veretout and Thomas Lemar. Absent against Ukraine after feeling stomach ailments, the midfielder of Atlético Madrid is better. Kimpembe who has just chained two meetings, and not exempt from all reproach on the Ukrainian goal, could also give way to Clément Lenglet. Substitutes on Saturday in Kiev, Raphaël Varane and Karim Benzema will make their return to the starting eleven. Didier Deschamps should again opt for a 4-4-2 and combine Griezmann and Benzema in attack. The Blues are flying this Monday morning towards Lyon where they are to land in the early afternoon. A final training session is scheduled at the end of the day (7 p.m.) at the Groupama Stadium in Décines.
The probable composition of the Blues:
Lloris (cap.) - Dubois, Varane, Lenglet, Digne - Coman, Tchouaméni (or Veretout), Pogba, Rabiot - Griezmann, Benzema.
