It could see Les Bleus reach the semi-final stage of the World Cup as they chase their troisième étoile as reigning champions. They spoke to L’Équipe about their missing poker partner, Lucas Hernandez, who had to withdraw from the France squad following injury during Les Bleus’ first game against Australia. The France camp is readying itself ahead of their quarter final tie against England, which is the first elimination meeting between the two countries in the World Cup – and only the third time that they’ve met at all in the competition following two group stage clashes in 1966 and 1982.
