Worrying news coming out of the France camp is that two more players have reportedly fallen ill ahead of Sunday's FIFA World Cup against Argentina.
Didier Deschamps was already without Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano against Morocco in the semi-final win, with both players missing out through illness.'
It seems Deschamps could be forced to make another alteration in defence as L'Equipe have reported that Raphael Varane and Ibrahima Konaté are the latest players to catch the flue.

Konate came in for Upamecano on Wednesday and played a stellar role alongside Varane as they kept the Atlas Lions scoreless in the semi-final.
The report from L'Equipe claims that Konate's symptoms are more 'pronounced' than Varane's, with the Manchester United stalwart only suffering mild symptoms.
The team has now reportedly taken measures to stop the spread from getting worse, with staff at the hotel obliged to wear masks while the cleaning of surfaces has been stepped up, according to L'Equipe.
On a brighter note, reports claim that winger Kinglsey Coman is getting better after contracted an illness after the win over Morocco on Wednesday night.
