Manchester United's Raphael Varane was absent from France training on Friday with 'flu-like symptoms' in the squad.
Varane and Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate, who both started in France's semi-final victory against Morocco earlier this week, did not train on Friday afternoon in Qatar, meaning they missed training less than two days before the World Cup final.
The United defender has played in every match bar France's game against Australia at the World Cup and he's a key player for his nation.

France's training camp is taking the necessary precautions, with players wearing masks and regularly washing their hands, to prevent the spread of the flu-like symptoms and the national team doctor is said to be calm about the situation.
If Varane is given the green light regarding his health, he's set to start in the final against Argentina on Sunday in Qatar. Kingsley Coman, Aurelien Tchouameni and Theo Hernandez were also absent from France's training on Friday.
United play Burnley just three days after the World Cup final and Varane won't be available for that League Cup clash.
If France beat Argentina on Sunday, Varane will win the World Cup for the second time in his career.
