Paris: France fans celebrate advancing to the 2022 World Cup finals (Reuters)
The preparations of the French national team for the semi-final match against Morocco were disrupted due to the "mysterious illnesses" of Dayo Ofmakano and Adrien Rabiot.
The defender was included in the squad, but the midfielder did not travel to the game with the world champions, who managed against the Moroccans and qualified for the final, but are not in ideal condition for the game against Argentina on Sunday.
And meanwhile, 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.

Orlian Tshoumani also commented on this situation 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."
Kingsley Coman, the latest player to miss training due to illness, kept his distance from the France players, but is expected to return to training today.
As for Rabio and Opamakanu, it is still not clear if the two will be fit for the big game or not, Yussuf Popana and William Saliba in the lineup picture - because the list of sick also included the defenders Raphael Veran and Ibrahima Konata who started and excelled against Morocco.
In addition to Konata, Veran also reportedly caught a cold and did not train today, but in France they calmed down and claimed they believed the two would qualify for the final.
