The France squad observed a minute’s silence before training on Tuesday in memory of the mother of Didier Deschamps, whose death the French Football Federation announced that day.
It came a day after France beat Iraq 3-0 in Philadelphia.
Deschamps has returned to France to join his family and attend the funeral.
The national team will spend Wednesday behind closed doors and will not hold a press conference.
In his absence, assistant Guy Stéphan will take charge until he returns, and Deschamps will not lead the side on Friday against Norway, a decisive match for first place in Group I.
