Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema can participate in France’s World Cup final against Argentina on Sunday, even though he was ruled out of the tournament before it started due to an injury to his left thigh. Astonishingly, he has been granted a chance to compete without having played a single match in Qatar due to an unexpected loophole.
A three-week deadline was established for Benzema to get back in shape after sustaining a severe injury just before France’s initial game. According to the Spanish publication Marca, he has arrived back on schedule and has generally been training since last Saturday. If Didier Deschamps requires his help, he could suddenly return to the squad since he was never substituted in the French team.
If Karim Benzema is included in the lineup for the France-Argentina game, Olivier Giroud will have to be taken out, considering his impressive performance in the World Cup. The ex-Arsenal and Chelsea player has scored four goals, including the goal that won the quarter-finals game against England. He is currently playing well and is likely to be the starting striker for the Sunday game.
Deschamps has a top-tier forward ready to take the field, as evidenced by his remarkable 44 goals in all competitions last season. This earned him the highly coveted Ballon d’Or for the first time in his career. This season, he has already netted six goals in all competitions and is likely to be a major contributor in the final.

France was able to secure a spot in the finals in the 79th minute when Kylian Mbappe displayed a great solo run which set up Kolo Muani to score with his first touch after being substituted in less than a minute prior. This result will bring much relief to the French side. Now, come Sunday, France will try to join Brazil (1962) and Italy (1938) as the third team to win the championship back-to-back.
