DOHA (Reuters) - France have been hit by a number of big-name injuries, including the shock news of Ballon D'Or winner Karim Benzema being ruled out of the World Cup, but younger players are ready to grab their chance.

The world champions will be without Paul Pogba, Christopher Nkunku, N'Golo Kante, Presnel Kimpembe and 34-year-old Benzema but for 23-year-old Ibrahima Konate and Eduardo Camavinga, 20, those injuries do not change anything going into the tournament.
