      However, when asked about Benzema's return to the squad, coach Didier Deschamps refused to make any comment on his return for the grand finale.

      Notably, Deschamps never replaced Benzema when the 34-year-old striker was ruled out on the eve of the tournament, meaning he is still eligible for a return.
