Just over two months from the World Cup in Qatar, it's an evening of football that could cost Benjamin Pavard dearly.

The French international defender of Bayern Munich was injured in the 21st minute during the second day of the Champions League against FC Barcelona on Tuesday evening at the Allianz Arena, just over two months before the World Cup in Qatar.

The 2018 world champion held his right thigh before leaving the field, accompanied by the trainers of the reigning German champions.

He was replaced by Noussair Mazraoui, one of Munich's summer recruits.

This exit did not prevent Bayern from winning, with a final score of 2-0.

A Blues match on September 22

Didier Deschamps is due to unveil his list on Thursday for the League of Nations matches against Austria on September 22 and Denmark on September 25, the last before the announcement of his group for the World Cup-2022 (November 20-December 18).

The French coach must already do without the services of Presnel Kimpembe, absent six weeks, in the defensive sector.
