Allan Saint-Maximin says he will have mixed emotions when France face Argentina in the World Cup final this Sunday.
Saint-Maximin had been hoping to make a late surge into Didier Deschamps' French squad for the finals in Qatar but was hampered by hamstring and muscle injuries throughout the autumn. Subsequently, he is still waiting for his first senior cap after picking up seven U21 caps between 2017 and 2019.
When asked if he was envious of some of his French pals ahead of the final this weekend, Saint-Maximin said: "When you are religious like me, you just want the best for everyone. "Even if I am not in the squad, I’m very happy because I have a lot of friends there… Kylian (Mbappe), Ousmane (Dembele), Marcus Thuram.
