What separates France from other national sides at the World Cup is that Les Bleus are current world champions.But there’s one more difference to it – they will be the only national team in Qatar with just 25 players, unlike the other with 26 on the list.As you know, the world’s best player, Karim Benzema, suffered a severe quadriceps injury during practice on Saturday and was ruled out for the entire World Cup.Another injury shocker! Benzema suffers an injury setback in QatarIn accordance with the rules, Les Bleus’ coach was given an opportunity to invite his replacement in the last moments, but Deschamps decided there was no need for that.When asked why he made such a decision, the gaffer answered:”Because I decided so, it’s that simple.”Journalists then asked him if he thinks that having seven strikers in the team is quite enough, but he’s got a tad bit different calculation:”Yes, we actually have eight of them.”Lukaku still injured, will miss first two World Cup gamesIt’s hard to tell who’s Deschamps thinking of, especially after Christopher Nkunku recently also suffered an injury that forced him to say goodbye to the World Cup.Without Benzema and Nkunku, the keys of Les Bleus’ offensive line are in the hands of Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembele, Coman, Thuram and Giroud.##NAJAVA_MECA_6824738##
