Veteran striker Karim Benzema according to multiple sources will fly to Qatar to feature in the World Cup final against Argentina? The French national coach Didier Deschamps responded to the question about this possibility.
Benzema had to pull out injured shortly before the World Cup. National coach Didier Deschamps did not call for a replacement, which means that the name of the Real Madrid striker was not removed from the French World Cup list.
Benzema can therefore still give an appearance in Qatar for France. Now that he has resumed training at Real Madrid, this option has resurfaced. After all, the winner of the Ballon d’Or would be fit enough to help Les Blues in the hunt for the World Cup gold.
Deschamps was asked about availability after the victory over Morocco. “Pfff… I’d rather not answer,” the former international said at the press conference, giving the impression that Benzema’s return is not an issue for him. “Come on, next question.”
In related news, Randal Kolo Muani wrote history on Wednesday evening by scoring with his first touch in the semi-final of the World Cup between France and Morocco. Afterwards, the attacker of Eintracht Frankfurt couldn’t believe his luck.
Kolo Muani’s dream
“This is magical. I am short of words to describe this,” Kolo Muani told the French journal in disbelief. “I’m still dreaming and having trouble waking up.”
The 24-year-old Kolo Muani was allowed to relieve Ousmane Dembélé twelve minutes before the end at Les Bleus and was successful after 44 seconds by finishing up close after a nice preparation by Kylian Mbappé. “I did well to follow him and I can be proud of how I positioned myself. Tomorrow morning we will all realize it. At the moment I don’t really realize it yet,” he reflected.
Kolo Muani is also having a strong season at Eintracht Frankfurt. Before the World Cup break, he scored five hits and ten assists in the Bundesliga in fourteen matches. The former attacker from Nantes was also accurate twice in the Champions League.
