#3 Laurent Koscielny
Laurent Koscielny has been ruled out of the World Cup after he ruptured his Achilles tendon during Arsenal's match vs Atletico Madrid. The French defender is set to be out of action for 6 months.
This might have been the last World Cup for the Arsenal defender as he is already 32 years old. Koscielny's injury might be a blessing in disguise for France as this will give them a chance to take a young defender with them to Russia and give him enough exposure.
France will go to the World Cup Samuel Umtiti and Raphael Varane as their main central defenders. Kurt Zouma, Eliaquim Mangala, Mamadou Sakho and even Geoffrey Kondogbia are possible replacement for Koscielny.
