Rabiot Doubtful for Nations League Quarterfinal vs Croatia

France midfielder Adrien Rabiot is doubtful for the Nations League quarterfinal return leg against Croatia due to a minor calf injury sustained during the team's recent 2-0 loss in Split. Coach Didier Deschamps confirmed Rabiot would not participate in Saturday's training, raising concerns about his availability for the crucial match. The French team will also pay tribute to Olivier Giroud, their all-time leading scorer, before the game. With a 2-0 deficit to overturn, Rabiot's absence is a significant setback for France, and Eduardo Camavinga is the leading candidate to step in as a replacement. Kylian Mbappé, who missed key scoring opportunities in the first leg, will be looking to make an impact in the upcoming match. France previously won the Nations League in 2021 but lost to Croatia at home the following year.
