Kyllian Antonio, 18, who took a right thigh knock in Sunday’s 4-0 at Lyon, is in contention for the Coupe de France final against Nice on Friday, with a 21:00 kick-off.

Pierre Sage said at the Stade de France on Thursday that Antonio trained away from the group during the first two sessions this week, and would rejoin full training today to determine whether he can take part.

A decision will be taken between Antonio and Nidal Celik on who accompanies Ismaëlo Ganiou and Malang Sarr in central defence.

Apart from long-term absentees Régis Gurtner, Jonathan Gradit and Samson Baidoo, the rest of the squad will be present at the Stade de France.

His involvement will be assessed after today’s collective session.
