So far, it has not been confirmed whether players will be available for the championship that brings together champions from all continents. Anyway, the two traveled to Morocco with the rest of the cast.
Last week, Real Madrid lost left-back Mendy, who was the team’s starter. With that, they will play with the Camavinga steering wheel improvised in position.
