As happened yesterday Wednesday, the French coach could not count on the four players who are still in the infirmary. Odriozola and Mariano combined individual work in the gym and on the grass, while Hazard and Carvajal continue to recover from their respective injuries.
The Belgian lost again on Monday after a muscle injury to his right psoas was detected, while the winger continues to convalesce from a right thigh injury suffered in mid-February. The return of the Spanish international is not scheduled, at least, until after the national team break.
