Raphael Varane is set to start France's World Cup game against Denmark despite being absent since late October, according to a report.
The 29-year-old picked up an injury to his thigh in Manchester United's draw against Chelsea on October 22, and hasn't played a competitive fixture in over a month.
But head coach Didier Deschamps is considering who to send out for France on Saturday after their 4-1 victory over Australia on Tuesday.
And French sports title L'Equipe believe former Real Madrid centre-back Varane is likely to start against Denmark in the crucial Group D fixture, while Ibrahima Konate will drop to the bench.
