Didier Deschamps offers defiant update on France s FIFA World Cup squad

Deschamps has made it clear that only players who are fit and ready to play in their opening World Cup clash will be considered for selection. The defending world champions have plenty of depth in their squad, which could make leaving out big-name players a slightly easier proposition. Theo Hernandez, Lucas Digne, Boubacar Kamara and Ibrahima Konate have all had fitness issues this term. Karim Benzema has had an injury-plagued campaign but is expected to be selected by Deschamps. Deschamps said (as per ): "It's clear and clean. That I said. I've never embarked with an injured player for a big competition. The only thing that is certain is that I will not take a player who is not able to play at the start of the competition. Then it's on a case-by-case basis." He continued: 'Leaving on a big competition with players who are not fit, already it occupies too much attention, and for those who have to play, it also monopolises the medical staff. Me, I consider that we must leave with fit and capable players." Deschamps added on Varane: "For Raphael, it is less problematic in this aspect, because it is a muscle injury."
