Raphael Varane, a defender for Manchester United, appears to have lost his chance to participate in the World Cup championship game.
Raphael Varane, a defender for Manchester United, is now apparently suffering from a sickness that is spreading throughout the France team, making it highly unlikely that he will participate in Sunday’s World Cup final against Argentina.
Varane and Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate are the most recent players to become unwell in the French camp, according to French magazine L’Equipe, with a disease spreading through the team and bringing flu-like symptoms. As a result of Dayot Upamecano’s illness, Didier Deschamps now has a center-back issue after France defeated Morocco 2-0 in the semifinals.

Another French player who didn’t participate in Morocco’s victory owing to the bug was Adrien Rabiot, who nearly joined United in the summer. Five members of the team are now infected, since Kingsley Coman is thought to have been put in “solitary confinement” to prevent any more players from contracting the illness.
Middle East respiratory syndrome, which can cause flu-like symptoms of varying severity, has affected several travelers to Qatar. While competing for Brazil during the World Cup, United star Antony voiced the same complaint.
As the Les Bleus coach detailed the precautions they are taking before the final, Varane’s absence would be a devastating blow for the 2018 champions.
In Doha, where the temperature has dipped a bit, air conditioning is always on, according to Deschamps.
“A few people have come down with flu-like symptoms. Players have worked extremely hard on the field and certainly their immune systems suffer as a result of our efforts to prevent the spread of the illness.
“Dayot Upamecano experienced nausea right away following the game [against England]. Your body becomes weaker as a result of exerting such effort, making you more vulnerable to contracting certain diseases.
“Although we are striving to prevent its spread and taking all essential precautions, viruses are unavoidably contagious, therefore we also need to take preventative measures. He was kept apart from other people and Adrien.”
