The French defender is racing against time to return in time for the Qatar tournament.
Raphael Varane has revealed “he feels much better” as he recovers from a leg injury ahead of the World Cup.
The Manchester United star won’t return to club football before the tournament. Following an injury against Chelsea earlier this month, the defender’s availability for the World Cup is also uncertain.
On Sunday, Varane shared a video of his training on social media, writing: “Thank you everyone for the kind messages this week. I have been working! Feeling good.”
His French language message said he had “I’ve been working hard and I feel a lot better.”
In addition to Varane, Paul Pogba is also out with an injury. The Juventus star is also close to full recovery. But Didier Deschamps has insisted he won’t take half-fit players to Qatar.
“Leaving for a big competition with players who are not ready, already it occupies too much attention,” the France boss said.
“For those who have to play, it also monopolises the medical staff. I consider that we must leave with valid and capable players.”
France will compete against Australia, Denmark, and Tunisia in Group D of the World Cup. Les Bleus will start their campaign with a match against Australia on November 22.
