Part of the France team, Raphaël Varane is also affected by this famous cold snap which affects the France team.
Another concern in the France team. After Upamecano, Rabiot and Coman, RMC Sport indicates this Friday, December 16 that two new players are affected by the mysterious “cold snap” including the vice captain of the Blues, defender Raphaël Varane and Ibrahima Konaté.
Still according to the media, there would be nothing to worry about at the moment even if the staff will carefully monitor the evolution of the situation before the collective training scheduled for the end of the day in Qatar. For the time being, the term “Covid” is not used in the staff of the Blues (no test has been carried out) and the hypothesis of a real cold snap due to the air conditioning of the hotel is always considered.
Revealed at his 17th birthday in Lens, Raphaël Varane was called up to the French team at the end of 2012 following the assumption of duty by Didier Deschamps. He will have to wait until March 22 of the following year to know his first selection, being established alongside Mamadou Sakho against Georgia. From then on, he will no longer leave the France group and will marry the mandate of the coach. Holder during the 2014 World Cup, he was at fault in the quarter-finals on the goal of Mats Hummels which eliminated the Blues. If he remains a basic element of the tricolor defense, injuries will deprive him of the Euro in 2016. In May, he injured his thigh and had to give up the tournament organized in France and saw his partners from afar fail in the final against Portugal (0-1 ap). In 2018, he is well suited and forms with Samuel Umtiti a complementary and solid central hinge. This team will help the Blues to fly over the competition and go get their second star 20 years later. Varane distinguished himself by scoring one of the two goals in the quarter-finals against Uruguay (2-0). Due to the pandemic, he must wait until 2021 to discover the Euro but can do nothing to avoid defeat in the round of 16 against Switzerland (3-3, 4-5 tab). He will console himself in the fall by winning a second trophy in selection with the League of Nations, against Spain (2-1).
In 2022, he played only two matches with the Blues, missing three in June for a
contracted hamstring injury, and a fourth on September 25, Deschamps preferring the
leave on the bench against Denmark (0-2). Uncertain for the World Cup again affected in the end hamstrings
October, Varane is finally fit, his injury being less serious than he feared, and will be
trip to Qatar.
