Manchester United world champion Raphael Varane left the match against Chelsea in tears after suffering a concussion.
The defender was injured in the second half of the 1-1 draw when he tried to stop Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Varane was on the field for several minutes, his teammates tried to console him, but he left the field in the 60th minute when he was substituted. It is possible that because of that, the 29-year-old will miss the World Cup finals in Qatar, which begins less than a month later. According to English media reports, Varanicombizum suffered a concussion, but it is not yet known how severe it is.
At the moment, it will be difficult to determine the severity of the infection, and we will have to wait for an accurate diagnosis. I totally understand what he’s going through now, it will be a huge blow to him if he misses the world championship. “All we can do is wait for the results of the tests,” United coach Eik Ten Hag told the post-match press conference.
Several of the French national team players are currently suffering from injuries, Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante will definitely miss the tournament with a hamstring injury, and even Juventus star Paul Pogba was injured several days ago.
France will start their World Cup campaign against Australia on November 22, then meet Deni and Tunzi in Group D.
