In another big blow for the reigning World Champions France, forward Christopher Nkunku was ruled out of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar after sustaining a leg injury.

The incident took place during France's training session, where the RB Leipzig star was caught by a challenge from Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga.

Nkunku, who is the highest goal-scorer in the Bundesliga this season with 12 goals in 15 matches, becomes the latest absentee for Les Bleus. The French are already without three of their World Cup winners Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kante & Presnel Kimpembe. 

The 2018 winners who are already sweating over the fitness of defender Raphael Varane, have named Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani as Nkunku's replacement.
