Manchester United's Raphael Varane gives fitness update after injury scare with France

Manchester United's Raphael Varane has confirmed he's fit after an injury scare playing for France.

Varane started in France's friendly match against the Ivory Coast on Friday night but he played just under 60 minutes before being substituted to the bench. France boss Didier Deschamps revealed Varane had a 'small problem in his foot' after that game.

The centre-back jogged off the pitch to be replaced by William Saliba and it was hoped that the extent of the foot problem wasn't serious, as Deschamps suggested. Varane, speaking at a press conference ahead of France's match against South Africa on Wednesday night, has now confirmed that to be the case, explaining to reporters that he's fully fit after the injury scare.
