Another blow to France’s chances of retaining the World Cup has been dealt when Christopher Nkunku was forced to withdraw from the World Cup due to an injury sustained in training.

After a good campaign in Russia in 2018, Didier Deschamps’ team is aiming to win it back.

They have already experienced a number of injury scares, with crucial midfielders Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante among those ruled out of the competition. As a result of an injury sustained during training, Christopher Nkunku will not be participating in the World Cup. Eduardo Camavinga was injured after Nkunku collided with him, causing a problem with his left leg.
