France boss won't call up other players to replace Benzema


Since Benzema was accidentally injured in the first training session of the French team and was also diagnosed with a torn quadriceps muscle in his left thigh, the French star has been determined not to appear in this World Cup . Although it was also reported afterwards that Martial, who played for Manchester United, was expected to replace Benzema, French coach Didier Deschamps said in an interview that the team would not recruit other players.


The French national team previously announced that there were only 25 players in the World Cup roster, and coach Didier Deschamps once said that 25 players were enough, but in the end Thuram Jr., the son of the famous French star Thuram, was recruited.


But yesterday, the French national team announced that Benzema suffered a left thigh injury during training and was therefore forced to withdraw from the World Cup.


Deschamps feels sorry for Benzema


In fact, according to FIFA rules, France can add another player after submitting Benzema's injury report. However, French coach Didier Deschamps said in an interview with the media that the team will not recruit players to replace Benzema, so the team's squad for the World Cup will remain at 25 players.


France coach Didier Deschamps also said, "I feel very sorry for Benzema. He regards this World Cup as a main goal. Although this is a new blow, I still have full confidence in my team. We will Do your best to meet the big challenges."


In addition, France is arranged in Group D with Australia, Denmark and Tunisia in this World Cup, and France will face Australia in the first group match.
