Will the Blues be in top form on Sunday for the World Cup final against Argentina, after their victory against Morocco? The incumbents spent Thursday resting. We must take care because a nasty virus would circulate in Doha. He has already touched Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano, who stayed at the hotel during the semi-final. It would now seem that it is also Kingsley Coman’s turn to be sick. It is therefore time for caution in the ranks of the France team.
No compulsory mask wearing
Faced with the virus, Didier Deschamps does not want to fall, he says, into psychosis. The Blues have in fact reinforced their vigilance. First by making hydroalcoholic gel available in the main living areas of the hotel and by isolating the sick. Earlier this week, Adrien Rabiot, who was sore, stayed in his room. On the other hand, wearing a mask is not compulsory, except for journalists, a first since the start of the competition.
The Blues need to be able to hug their family because it’s part of the players’ well-being, the staff say.
Treat yourself with the gentle method
In the meantime, to treat the suffering Blues, it is the gentle method, specifies Doctor Jean-Pierre Fraïoli, former PSG doctor. “With a bit of vitamin C and a bit of rest, it’ll be fine. If they don’t train for three days it’s worrying, they’re still guys who need s train a lot,” he says.
Efferalgan and vitamin C are things that are not penalizing in terms of doping. It is above all the problem of physical condition to know if they will be restored in the coming days”, he adds. But the news is reassuring: this morning, Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano resumed training Kingsley Coman is getting better and better All three should be operational on Sunday.
