FIFA World Cup 2022: France’s possible starting lineup for final vs Lionel Messi's Argentina

The Lusail Stadium will host the match between France and Argentina on Sunday for FIFA World Cup 2022. The winner will receive the golden trophy and a third World Cup champion star for their shirts. Although Messi has carried his for more than a decade, Kylian Mbappé will undoubtedly carry the weight of the country on his youthful shoulders. The championship game has even been dubbed a battle between the "current king" and the "future king" to settle the issue.

France arrived at the 64th game of the tournament on the back of a Brutal 2-0 victory over Morocco, sending the Atlas lions (Moroccan team) back to Africa. A number of Les blues (France team) players have fallen ill with an unknown, incapacitating virus described as camel flu, the scenario is naturally worrying for the France team. Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot are now the two most affected players; neither was able to participate in Wednesday's semi-final against Morocco due to illness.

French footballer Striker Olivier Giroud, who has four goals and has assisted Didier Deschamps in bringing out the best in Mbappé, is the primary selection concern right now. Giroudis allegedly doubtful due to a knee issue. The Milan striker may participate if he is declared fit.



According to some reports, Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema (French footballer) could make an even more spectacular return, after he recovered from an injury that saw him leave the French training camp just before the tournament began. When asked about it, Deschamps (French football team coach) replied “next question” with a slightly exhausted look on his face and subsequent reports claim the relationship between player and coach isn’t the best, so it seems unlikely.
