William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano, two of France’s top defenders, were not present at the training session. According to reports, the Bayern Munich defender is training individually indoors, while the Arsenal player has been given rest by the French coaching staff.

There is no immediate risk of either player missing the semifinal against Spain. However, the absence of these two key players from the training session has raised concerns among fans and observers about their fitness and readiness for the match.

The team’s coaching staff has been working tirelessly to prepare the team for the match, and the absence of Saliba and Upamecano has undoubtedly added to the pressure and anticipation surrounding the match.

Kylian Mbappé, one of France’s top players, was seen running without any major issues, which is a big relief for French fans. The team’s performance in the match will depend on the fitness and readiness of its key players, including Mbappé and the absent Saliba and Upamecano.

Mike Maignan, Robin Risser, and Brice Samba are not part of the squad, and the starters from the match against Morocco are doing laps around the pitch, while the substitutes are warming up with Guy Stephan.
