Patrice Evra has unpacked how France’s World Cup final loss may impact Raphael Varane upon his Manchester United return.
The defender was given an extra week off following the defeat and Lisandro Martinez has also been given the same amount of time off following Argentina’s triumph. Both players are unlikely to feature against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday in United’s first Premier League game post-tournament.
Varane, who lifted the World Cup in 2018, almost missed the finals due to a knee injury picked up against Chelsea in October. After missing the opening game, the 29-year-old featured in every match for Les Bleus during their campaign.
