France hope they have contained the virus that has swept through their camp after Kingsley Coman, Raphaël Varane and Ibrahima Konaté returned to training before Sunday’s World Cup final against Argentina.
The world champions have had to put social distancing measures in place in an attempt to stop more players falling unwell before the final at the Lusail Stadium. Coman, Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot missed France’s semi-final victory against Morocco on Wednesday and the situation worsened when Varane and Konaté were forced to skip training on Friday.
