Raphael Varane - Page 7 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back in limited training Varane (undisclosed) was pictured training with the ball Thursday ahead of Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Varane was notably not pictured training with other teammates, so it's still unlikely he's ready to feature Saturday. He's been out since the beginning of the month and with only a couple days of training in him, it's hard to see him starting his first match back.

Still not training Varane will remain out for Tuesday's trip to Liverpool, according to manager Ralf Rangnick. "Rapha [Varane] didn't train with the team. He was on the pitch with one of our rehab co...

Impact It's not an overly positive update on Varane, who looks set to miss both matches this week. Man United have a bit of an injury problem at the moment and that's led to some nervy defensive performances. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire will likely pair up for the next two matches, at a minimum.

Impact While Varane will be unavailable for his second straight match due to his undisclosed ailment, the fact that he could still be an option Tuesday is good news for the Red Devils. Once cleared to play, Varane should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI.

Impact Varane did go the full 90 minutes against Leicester City on Saturday following the international break but appears to have picked up another knock. It's not immediately clear if it's the foot injury that had been bothering the defender while with France or if this is something new. Regardless, Varane won't be an option to face the Toffees which will likely see Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire pair up in central defense.

In starting XI against South Africa Varane (foot) was named to the French starting XI versus South Africa on Tuesday.

Impact Varane has been dealing with a foot problem but was able to shake it off to play for his country. With his injury seemingly behind him, Varane should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI against Leicester City on Saturday where he figures to see solid mid-range fantasy value.

MARCH 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up foot injury Varane was forced off against Ivory Coast on Friday with a foot injury and was limited to individual training Sunday, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Impact Varane has started 19 of his 22 appearances for Manchester United this season in which he has registered 29 tackles, 68 clearances and 15 interceptions. Given his limited offensive upside, the central defender won't offer much in the way of fantasy value if he is able to play against Leicester City on Saturday.

Training ahead of Spurs match Varane (illness) was pictured in training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's match against Tottenham.

Impact It looks like Varane will be an option again Saturday after missing the Manchester derby with an illness. Man United have had massive defensive issues with no one really standing out on the back line, but it's expected Varane will be back in the XI against Tottenham.

MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in squad for Sunday Varane is not in Man United's match day squad for Sunday's derby against Manchester City.

Impact Varane played the full 90 minutes of last weekend's draw against Watford, but he is out after testing positive for COVID-19 on Sunday. More details should emerge about his absence, but Victor Lindelof replaces him in central defense alongside Harry Maguire for the game.

On bench Sunday Varane is fit and in the match day squad to face Leeds on Sunday.

Impact Varane returns after dealing with a stomach bug that kept him out of United's previous match. The defender starts from the bench but is available if called upon Sunday.

Should be option Sunday Varane (illness) was pictured in training Thursday ahead of Sunday's trip to Leeds.

Impact Varane should be back in the XI Sunday following some stomach problems that forced him out Tuesday. When healthy, he's been a regular on the back line even though Victor Lindelof has enough quality to start. That said, Varane has just one clean sheet in his last seven league starts.

Late scratch against Brighton Varane was scratched from Tuesday's starting XI against Brighton and replaced by Victor Lindelof due to illness.

Impact Late scratches for illness have seemingly become a norm the past couple weeks and now Varane is next to suffer from something. Fortunately for Man United, they have another quality center-back in waiting in Victor Lindelof, who will try to keep Brighton at bay.

Back in starting XI Varane (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Varane is immediately back in the XI Monday after missing almost the last two months with a hamstring injury. It's unclear what his fitness level is, as Man United are without their other two center-backs Monday, so he may be rushing things a bit.

Impact Varane has been out of action since Nov.2 against Atalanta, a stretch of eight matches on the sidelines. Given his extended layoff, the club could decide to ease him back into the fold with a few appearances off the bench. Still, long-term Varane figures to reclaim his spot in central defense once up to full match fitness.

DECEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to train fully next week Varane (hamstring) is hopeful to begin full training next week, according to manager Ralf Rangnick.

Impact Varane is on the grass, which means he's not fully training just yet. That could come as soon as next week and given his time away, he'll probably need a week of training to get back his fitness, so he could be looking at another two or so weeks on the sidelines.

Impact With Varane out, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might have to abandon the back-five formation he has just started using with Man United. Victor Lindelof (undisclosed) is also unavailable at the moment, but Eric Bailly and even Phil Jones are still available at central defense.

Eligible to return Varane (groin) is in contention for Saturday's clash with Spurs.

Impact Varane missed the club's previous three contests but is back to full fitness and should be in the mix against Tottenham. If Varane does crack the starting XI, it would likely be in favor of Victor Lindelof who would find himself relegated to a spot on the bench.
