New day this Friday for the French team in Doha.
Arrived Wednesday evening in the Qatari city, the reigning world champions carried out their first training session Thursday at the end of the day on the magnificent lawn of the Jassim Bin Hamad stadium in Al Sadd with a separate session for Karim Benzema and Raphaël Varane, from return from injury.
Their participation in the match against Australia on Tuesday (8 p.m., TF1) is not guaranteed.
This Friday, the Blues continue their preparation with training behind closed doors from 6:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. French time).
A session, out of sight, which will say more about the options taken by Didier Deschamps.
A little earlier (12 p.m. in Qatar, 10 a.m. in France), Adrien Rabiot and Lucas Hernandez are expected in front of the media for a press conference.
