"There are always injuries before the squad list is announced, and there can be some after as well. I don't have any further information at the moment since the players are due to arrive around 4pm. We'll assess the situation then. Regardless of the player or the club he comes from, he had a minor issue, but nothing prohibitive - otherwise he wouldn't be here today."
"The observation is that for the vast majority, they arrive tired. They have had three matches in the past week due to the Champions League. Today and tomorrow will be focused on recovery. We only have three days between the two matches, I will have to distribute the playing time a little more over the two matches, compared to September. Young or not young, they are there and they are all able to start or come on, taking into account the situation of each game."
Kylian Mbappé limped off late in Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Villarreal with an ankle issue that sparked reports he could be sidelined for up to ten days. France's squad arrival will be assessed around 4pm and the injury has been described as a minor, non-prohibitive issue. France can secure World Cup qualification by beating Azerbaijan in Paris and Iceland in Reykjavik, combined with a draw between Iceland and Ukraine. The majority of players arrive fatigued after recent heavy club schedules, with recovery prioritized and playing time to be distributed across the two fixtures to avoid unnecessary risks.
