Manchester United defender Raphael Varane replaced by Liverpool FC star in France squad after injury

Manchester United defender Raphael Varane has been forced to withdraw from the France squad following injury.

Varane, 29, was forced off after an hour of his country’s Nations League match against Denmark on Friday night after pulling up and clutching his left leg. The United defender was later seen receiving treatment on his hamstring as France lost 2-1.

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate will replace Varane in the squad following his withdrawal, the first time he has ever received a senior international call-up.
