Manu Koné to Chart Own Course After Returning to Rome

Manu Koné will be the one to chart his own course regarding his club future, with the midfielder set to make the final decision upon his return to Rome. Koné did not feature in the World Cup third-place play-off match between France and England, remaining on the bench throughout the contest.

The match itself saw managers Didier Deschamps and Thomas Tuchel experiment with revised lineups for the bronze medal game. France ultimately emerged victorious in a high-scoring affair, securing a 6-4 win over England in a dramatic conclusion to their World Cup campaigns.
