We will make Deschamps proud – Tchouamenipublished at 19:42 BST
Norway v France (20:00 BST)
France
Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni says France are on a mission to make absent coach Didier Deschamps proud by securing top spot in World Cup Group I.
Deschamps will miss tonight’s clash with Norway in Foxborough after returning home following the death of his mother.
Les Bleus and Norway are level on six points and have already secured progression to the knockout stages thanks to respective victories over Senegal and Iraq.
“On behalf of the entire French team, the French family, we send our condolences to the coach and his entourage,” Real Madrid player Tchouameni told a press conference, according to L’Equipe.
“It’s a complicated time for everyone. We tried to make things normal but we have a mission and we want to make him proud.”
Deschamps received news of the bereavement on Tuesday morning, with his mother’s funeral scheduled to take place on the same day as the match.
Assistant coach Guy Stephan will take charge of the team for the fixture at Gillette Stadium.
