We hardly dare to imagine in what state Didier Deschamps is when he watches the matches of his key players with their club, for a few weeks.

After the formal withdrawals of N'Golo Kanté and Paul Pogba for the World Cup in Qatar, as well as the very big uncertainties surrounding Raphaël Varane and Mike Maignan, the coach of the Blues is crossing his fingers that nothing happens. to his offensive leaders.

Having already missed four games in October due to a muscle injury, Karim Benzema is not in the form of his life.

The recent Ballon d'Or, who was able to play 26 minutes of play on Wednesday against Celtic Glasgow (5-1), has just been announced forfeited by Carlo Ancelotti for Monday's La Liga match between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano , due to discomfort in the left thigh.

“Tomorrow, he will not play because the feelings are not good, explained the Madrid coach this Sunday at a press conference.

He trained on Friday, he looked good.

And then he had a bit of a hard time, so he won't be available.

One more match in the different championships

The timing obviously raises questions, three days before the announcement of the DD list, and only 16 days before the French team enters the World Cup against Australia.

Carlo Ancelotti was still a little more reassuring then, indicating that his striker would be "available" Thursday against Cadiz, during the 14th day of La Liga.

Barely recovered from his emotions linked to this press point of "Don Carlo", the coach of the Blues undoubtedly landed with little serenity in front of the Ligue 1 poster between Lorient and PSG (1-2).

And the exchanges between Christophe Galtier and his medical staff, when Kylian Mbappé (85th) was replaced, augured a very gloomy Sunday for the France team.

But the situation seems even less alarming for him than for KB9, according to the Parisian coach: “There is no alert in a specific area.

It's muscle fatigue linked to the sequence of matches.

The playing conditions were difficult.

He also came out tired after the game against Juventus on Wednesday.

Come on DD, only one day left of the various European championships to hold.
