BOSTON, June ⁠27 (Reuters) - France coach Didier ⁠Deschamps has rejoined the national ‌squad at the World Cup after briefly returning home following the death ​of his mother, the ⁠country's football ⁠federation said on Saturday.

"Didier is with ⁠us," ‌the federation said in a message to ⁠media.

Deschamps, who guided France to victory ​at ‌the World Cup in 2018 ⁠and ​to the final in 2022, missed the 4-1 win over ⁠Norway on Friday which ​confirmed Les Bleus as the winners of Group I, offering them ⁠a less tiring travel schedule ahead.

France, who are based in Boston, are due to ​play Sweden in ⁠the Round of 32 in ​New Jersey on ‌Tuesday.
