- In an attempt to wipe away the skeptics and reporters from yesterday's training session, coach Deschamps is confident that Mbappe, along with Umtiti, Kanta and Pavard, will be able to make their debut.

Their absence from the final rehearsal before the semi-finals is simply a precaution, as there are signs of overload and muscle aches in some key players.

Kylian Mbappe is the name that brings the most hope to the Les Bleus army in this tournament, when he exploded with three goals and fast pace and extremely effective.

Besides, Umtiti, Pavard and Kante are the pillars to replace in the defensive front of coach Didier Deschamps.

"The four absent players in the training session are just our precautions, and they will all be out tomorrow," said the 49-year-old.

The name that caused the greatest insecurity was defender Samuel Umtiti. He has had a history of knee injuries from Barcelona's day of service and signs of pain at the same site.

On the other side, left back Benjamin Mendy returned to training with his teammates, after several days of trouble with knee pain.

In the 2018 World Cup semi-final between France and Belgium, many fans expect the following pairs of matches will directly determine the defeat of the team.

The first semi-final between France and Belgium is the superstar's epic battles for the top clubs in the world. There are four notable battles that will directly affect the outcome at Saint Petersburg.

Kevin de Bruyne (Belgium) - N'Golo Kante (France)

Not to mention that Belgium is owned by one of the best in the world named Kevin de Bruyne. In the quarterfinals, Brazil must take defeat in Belgium simply because Tite's army can not find a way to deal with De Bruyne during the first half.

After four matches at this year's World Cup, De Bruyne pocketed a goal and a tectonic strike for his team-mates. He hit 16 decisive passes, 81% efficiency of the exact pass.

However, the coming game against France will not be the easy play of players on the team Manchester City. De Bruyne will face one of the best defensive midfielders in the world today. This can be the key to the whole of this promising semi-final.

On the other side of the front line, Kante always showed great reading ability and covered many areas on the pitch. Kante has made 12 fouls, scoring exactly 75% in the past five matches. Kante is clearly not a Brazilian like Fernandinho so De Bruyne can easily overtake.

Having played for many years in the Premiership, Kante and De Bruyne were no strangers on the pitch.

Romelu Lukaku (Belgium) - Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti (France)

"Les Bleus" just conceded three goals, thanks to the great central midfielder Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti always focused on the game.

Watching how Luis Suarez of Uruguay could not get the ball in the box, enough to understand how this duo accomplished excellent defensive role.

The next task that Varane and Umtiti have to do is to stop the striker Lukaku, who has scored four goals in this tournament. Manchester United's striker not only has the potential to be a keen hunter, but is also actively involved in creating space, creating walls and expanding the space for Eden Hazard and De Bruyne to hold the ball.

In addition to his physical strength, Lukaku proved to be a formidable defender, as evidenced by Belgium's second goal against Brazil or the way the Reds swept in the air. 3-2 win over Japan.

Kylian Mbappe (France) - Jan Vertonghen (Belgium)

Playing in the left wing of the Reds' three-man defense, Jan Vertonghen will face one of the world's most formidable players this year. It was a 19-year-old boy named Kylian Mbappe.

In terms of experience, Vertonghen has enough confidence to always make coach Roberto Martinez completely assured. However, it would be subjective if the Tottenham player did not watch Mbappe's fierce drive as he did in the France-Argentina match.

In the "La Albicelestes" defensive midfield, the maximum speed measured in the Mbappe ball was 38 km / h. For comparison, "Bolt" Usain Bolt owns a speed of 37.5 km / h set the world record in the 100 m run. That's enough to show how speedy Mbappe is.

So speed, the 31-year-old Vertonghen is likely to be in front of the star of Paris Saint-Germain not quite twenty.

Eden Hazard (Belgium) and Benjamin Pavard (France)

Not only wearing the captain's armband, Hazard is also the conductor of the attacking squad "Red Devils." Seeing how the FIFA midfielder left Fagner behind his back and saw Brazil return to the country, many wanted to hand over the World Cup to Hazard in the quarterfinals.

After four World Cup appearances this season, Hazard has scored two goals and two assists for team-mate, 79% accuracy.

Meanwhile, France's right-back Pavard has made a surprise comeback in Didier Deschamps' squad. Only 22 years old, Pavard has had a successful World Cup with a solid defense and a crucial goal in France's 4-3 win over Argentina.

In the semifinal, Pavard will have the best test to prove his ability to find a way to prevent the small number of children of Belgium.
