Kingsley Coman did not feature for France in their 1-0 win over the Netherlands on Monday evening. Paul Pogba scored the only goal of the game in Amsterdam in the 25th minute. That puts Les Bleus top of Group A on seven points, ahead of Sweden and the Dutch (both on 4). Coman also failed to appear in the 4-1 victory over Bulgaria on Friday.
Renato Sanches was also an unused substitute in his countries two World Cup qualifiers. The midfielder did not play in either of the 6-0 wins over Andorra or the Faroe Islands. The European champions’ victory on Monday night came courtesy of a first-half hat-trick from André Silva, followed by goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Moutinho and Joao Cancelo in the second half. Portugal are now on six points and sit second in Group B behind Switzerland on nine.
