The quest to win the world cup race back-to-back might be a difficult one as the France National Team has been plagued with the Camel Flu ahead of their world cup final against Argentina on Sunday.
According to reports, several players in the Les Blues squad like Adrien Rabiot, Dayot Upamecano, Raphael Varane and Ibrahima Konaté have all been infected with the virus, bringing doubts over their participation in the final.
Although, active measures by the team doctors are said to be put in place in order to fast track their recovery ahead of the tie.
This could come as a big blow to the French who already have injury concerns in the squad – Aurelien Tchouaméni and Theo Hernandez.
Their quest to become the first country to win the world cup back-to-back in many years could be under threat.
The camel flu or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a contagious respiratory illness that is often transmitted through contact with an infected person.
The symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath, it may also include nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
