Aurélien Tchouaméni, midfielder for the French national football team, took part in an individual training session as part of his recovery from a thigh injury and preparation for Thursday's World Cup quarterfinal against Morocco. The 26-year-old felt thigh discomfort during a sprint in the team's final training session on Friday, the eve of their round-of-16 match against Paraguay (1-0). Assistant coach Guy Stéphan explained in a press conference on Monday: "Tchouaméni will continue his individual work. We'll see day by day how his injury evolves, whether it improves or not. It's true we face some time constraints. The match is on Thursday. He will continue his individual work tomorrow as well... He may miss the match against Morocco." Later tests revealed a muscle problem in the adductor area. If his absence against Morocco is confirmed, Manu Koné, who replaced him against Paraguay, is expected to start alongside Adrien Rabiot. Among other injuries in the French squad, forward Marcus Thuram, who has been sidelined with a calf injury since June 25 and missed the last two matches against Sweden and Paraguay, returned to normal training on Monday, according to Deschamps' assistant. As for William Saliba, who has been suffering from back pain for several months and was rested by the coaching staff against Norway, he is in good condition, but caution must be taken until the end. He will be rested again in some training sessions, but there is no immediate problem, according to Stéphan.
