Manchester United defender Raphael Varane has posted a positive update on his fitness amid confidence he will be available for selection for France’s World Cup squad next month.
The experienced central defender limped off injured in United’s draw at Chelsea earlier this month as he was left in tears. Varane had feared that he may miss out on this winter’s World Cup finals in Qatar for the defending champions – for whom he starred in their success four years ago.
However, subsequent reports alleviated such concerns as the injury was not as bad as the former Real Madrid defender had first feared. The 29-year-old was set to miss ‘three to four weeks’ after suffering a suspected lesion on his femoral biceps in the thigh muscle – meaning he should be available for the finals.
