PARIS — Defending champion France's World Cup injury worries continued as forward Christopher Nkunku was injured in the team's last training session and replaced in the squad by Randal Kolo Muani. The 25-year-old Nkunku went down clutching his left leg after a tackle from midfielder Eduardo Camavinga during training. Kolo Muani was selected as his replacement shortly before the team flew out to Qatar, the French soccer federation said in a statement. Nkunku was named the best player in Germany's Bundesliga last season. He's scored 17 goals in 23 games this season. Kolo Muani joined Eintracht Frankfurt from French Cup winner Nantes in the offseason.
