Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has questioned Raphael Varane’s emotional reaction to the injury he suffered vs Chelsea.
The France international has started the last nine Premier League matches but hobbled off at Stamford Bridge in the second half of the 1-1 draw. And with just a month until the World Cup in Qatar gets underway, Varane instantly feared the worst and was visibly crying as he made his way down the tunnel.
It has since emerged that the 29-year-old could yet make it into Didier Deschamps’ squad with an estimated recovery of three or four weeks. A report from ESPN claims results from an initial MRI scan were not as bad as expected, with the results showing he had suffered a lesion of the femoral bicep in his thigh muscle.
