Arsenal's defender Laurent Koscielny and Marseille's winger Dimitri Payet had played for France for many years, but have to miss the World Cup in Russia due to injuries.

However, now they have a chance to attend the final match in Moscow, where France will face Croatia on Sunday.

The French president Emmanuel Macron, who is going to visit the final, has offered Koscielny and Payet to join his official delegation.

Both players were France's key figures at EURO 2016, where Les Bleus finish second. This year ago, Koscielny announced his international retirement, but at least he and Payet have a chance to see a possible triumph live.
