Defender Dayot Upamecano and midfielder Adrien Rabiot have been isolated from the rest of the squad since Tuesday and did not play in the semi-final against Morocco (2:0). Winger Kingsley Coman, who suffers from a high fever, recently joined the pair.
“Upamecano survived three difficult days after the quarter-final against England. However, his condition is improving and he should be available for the final against Argentina. Kingsley Coman also had a fever, but I think he will be fit by Sunday, only as Adrien Rabiot.
It’s flu season and we have to be careful. For the players, the tournament is a regular round and their immune system may be a little weakened.” the AP agency quoted the coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps.
