France’s President, Emmanuel Macron wants to take a group of injured national team players to the 2022 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday.
Players such as Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba have all missed out on France’s awesome FIFA World Cup campaign due to separate injuries sustained in recent weeks.
However, Macron wants to get Benzema, Kante, and Pogba, among others, involved at the final hurdle by bringing them along for the World Cup final tie against Argentina this weekend.
