Concerns about injuries to World Cup of France continue after seeing how the striker Christopher Nkunku he was injured during the team’s training session and was replaced by Randal Chief Muani. Nkunku, 25, suffered an injury to his left leg after being tackled by Real Madrid player Eduardo Camavinga during training.
Kolo Muani was selected by Deschamps as his replacement shortly before the team flew to Qatar, the French soccer federation said in a statement. Nkunku was named the best player in the German Bundesliga last season after scoring 35 goals in total and providing 14 assists in the league for Leipzig.
Kolo Muani has made a decent start since joining Eintracht Frankfurt from French Cup winners Nantes. He made two international appearances for France. Coach Didier Deschamps can no longer count on midfielders Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante, who helped France win the World Cup four years ago. Also, central defender Presnel Kimpembe withdrew on Monday after failing to fully recover from a six-week layoff following a hamstring injury.
