What a nightmare for Christopher Nkunku! At the last training session of the French national team before the trip to Qatar, the winger of the world champions and RB Leipzig suffered an injury that will force him to miss the World Cup. During a seemingly harmless duel for the ball with Eduardo Camavinga, the Real Madrid midfielder carelessly started and stepped on a teammate. It was immediately clear that Nkunku was in a lot of pain, and not long after, official confirmation arrived that he was missing the World Cup.Christopher Nkunku a dû quitter l’entraînement des Bleus en boitant. 😢🎥 @RMCsportpic.twitter.com/W4vEnfKDUk— Actu Foot (@ActuFoot_) November 15, 2022 Instead of the 25-year-old forward, RMC reports that Randal Kolo Muani was invited. The best player of last season’s French Cup winner, Nantes, has been in Eintracht since the summer, and it didn’t take long for him to adapt to German football. With nine assists in 13 matches, he became the Bundesliga record holder, and in front of him is only Lionel Messi (10), if we look at the Top 5 European leagues. So, who will win it?This is just one more in a series of misfortunes that befell the world champions from Russia in 2018. Didier Deschamps has long been without two very important midfielders, Ngolo Kante and Paul Pogba, stopper Wesley Fofana, goalkeeper Mike Magnan, another midfielder, Boubacar Camara, as well as another central defender Presnel Kimpembe who was on the passenger list for Qatar but withdrew because he is not fit enough.World Cup Pulse: Rigobert looms large but which Song will Cameroon sing in Qatar?Kolo Muani has only played nine minutes for the A selection of France. In the September matches of the League of Nations, he entered the defeat against Denmark (0:2) and the victory over Austria (2:0). Previously, he was a regular member of the youth national team, and he also played for the Olympic selection at the Games in Japan 2021, where the Tricolors did not really make a name for themselves (1:4 against Mexico, 4:3 against South Africa and 0:4 against Japan).Kudos to Kimpembe for his fairness as he steps out – Disasi joins the back line of FranceAt the upcoming World Cup, which starts on Sunday, France will play in Group D with Australia, Denmark and Tunisia. Despite all the injury problems – the absence of Nkunku, who scored 17 and assisted four goals in 23 appearances for Leipzig this season, is certainly among the biggest – Deschamps’ team is among the main favorites for the trophy.##NAJAVA_MECA_6816082##
