France supervisor Didier Deschamps on Karim Benzema: "I have players who have been harmed previously. Karim is one of them. The last to be harmed is Lucas Hernandez. From that point forward, I have 24 players to make due. Posing the inquiry opposite (concerning) these players, it's abnormal."
Didier Deschamps marked questions in regards to a possible return for Karim Benzema to the France crew as "abnormal" in front of Sunday's Reality Cup last against Argentina.

In his post-match public interview after the semi-last win against Morocco, Deschamps would not preclude what might be an electrifying return for Benzema. The France manager was inquired: "There's a report today that Benzema could return to Qatar. Above all else, is it valid? Furthermore, is there any likelihood that you could involve him for a couple of moments assuming you wanted him?"
Deschamps looked exasperated, then, at that point, grinned and answered: "I would truly prefer not to respond to that inquiry. Next question. I do apologize."

He said: "I have players who have been harmed previously. Karim is one of them. The last to be harmed is Lucas Hernandez.
"From that point forward, I have 24 players to make due. Posing the inquiry versus (concerning) these players, saying the least, while possibly not somewhat more is abnormal. The gathering is there.
"I couldn't care less about solicitations from players, previous players or harmed players. I don't have any idea who will be there. We had a gathering toward the beginning and who, from what occurred... We lost three, with Nkunku toward the start. They were important for the start of the experience.
They will be 24 significant players for France tomorrow".

Christopher Nkunku has gotten leeway from RB Leipzig to go to the masterpiece coordinate against Argentina and could go with them.
Be that as it may, it stays muddled whether Benzema will likewise fly out to help the public group.
From that point forward, I have 24 players to oversee and you know them. To pose the inquiry opposite these players, in the event that I might say as much, is basically cumbersome, while perhaps not somewhat more.
'The gathering is there. I don't deal with the solicitations of players, previous players or harmed players. I don't have any idea who will be there.'

However, talking in front of France's Reality Cup last against Argentina tomorrow, Deschamps said: 'A few players have been harmed and Karim Benzema is one of them and Lucas Hernandez got harmed in the main game.
We have lost three - Christopher Nkunku, Karim Benzema and Lucas Hernandez - and I lost them despite the fact that they were in the crew in the first place.
'So presently I'm zeroing in on my 24-man crew and they are the ones I will have available to me tomorrow.'
