In the World Cup winners’ celebrations, Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny turned up in the French dressing room. The Gunners star took a few pictures with his hands on the World Cup trophy. Those images provoked plenty of fans to turn to social media to express their sorrow for Koscielny.
Koscielny missed the World Cup due to injury. The Arsenal defender is known to have chronic Achilles problems. Had Koscielny been fit, he’d surely have played at the World Cup. In the end, however, Rafael Varane and Samuel Umtiti forged a significant partnership at the heart of the French backline.
