France illness hits third member of squad ahead of World Cup final vs Argentina

Kingsley Coman is a doubt for the World Cup final after he missed training with illness - becoming the third member of the France squad to pick up the sickness problem.

Les Bleus take on Argentina at Lusail Stadium on Sunday as they try and win their second successive World Cup, having lifted the trophy in Russia four-and-a-half years ago. Didier Deschamps' side booked their place in the final with a 2-0 win over Morocco thanks to goals from Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani.

However, the French camp is beginning to be riddled with illness after Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano were both left out of the starting XI to take on Morocco. The pair fell ill as a result of the ever-present air conditioning in Qatar and weren't risked for the clash with the Atlas Lions, although they were named on the bench.
