Over the past few weeks, there has been a major concern at both Manchester United and in the France squad over the health of Raphaël Varane.
The player came off the pitch in tears against Chelsea after suffering a thigh injury, and there was a worry he could miss the upcoming World Cup.
The Manchester United player went to France to undergo his treatment, posting videos of himself at Clairefontaine, where he will have been looked after the national team’s doctors.
They will have monitored everything carefully in a bid to get him back to fitness ahead of the competition, and L’Equipe are now announcing the defender ‘will be fit for the World Cup’.
Didier Deschamps is announcing his squad on Wednesday, and the manager knows ‘he will be able to count on a healed Raphaël Varane for the start of the competition’.
The Manchester United player ‘is better’, and while he might not play any games between now and the break, the player ‘will be able to return to training’ before meeting up with his France teammates if he is picked.
Now, we just have to wait and see how he fares in training in the next few days, with both the Red Devils and the France staff hoping everything holds up just fine.
