Deschamps: “We will manage the squad when facing Tunisia.. Benzema's return is impossible”

 France boss Didier Deschamps confirmed they will manage certain changes in the squad when they face up with their  Tunisian counterpart scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, in the third round of the 2022 World Cup.

 "I am going to have to manage the squad, I have a lot of things to take into account. I have some more time to make my decision - you will find out tomorrow - but yes, there will be changes, I just can't tell you how many."
There were reports on Monday that Deschamps' injury-hit squad may be boosted by the return of striker Karim Benzema, who sustained a recurrence of a thigh problem on the eve of the tournament but has remained on France's squad list.
Benzema has left Qatar to receive treatment but Les Bleus' boss was baffled by talk of an imminent comeback for the Ballon d'Or winner.
"I am not sure, that's not something I am thinking about," he said. "Who is saying that?
"I talked to Karim after he left the squad but you know the situation, you know how long it will take him to recover. It is up to you if you want to speculate and imagine scenarios that are not what I am focusing on at the moment."

Les Bleus have already secured their place in the knockout stage following wins over Australia and Denmark, meaning Deschamps is set to make several changes to his side for the Group D match at Education City Stadium.
