Didier Deschamps was quizzed on whether Karim Benzema could make a sensational France return for the World Cup final against Argentina.
Benzema was ruled out of the tournament in Qatar due to a thigh injury, but it has been reported that he could feature for the holders when they attempt to retain their crown on Sunday.
Les Bleus beat Morocco 2-0 on Wednesday to set up a showdown with La Albiceleste at Lusail Stadium this weekend.
France head coach Deschamps refused to say whether Ballon d’Or winner Benzema may play a part in the final after returning to training with Real Madrid.
He said after a lengthy pause: “I don’t really want to answer that question. Next question. I do apologise.”
Benzema has made only 12 appearances for Madrid this season due to injury.
Goals from Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani put France in another World Cup final.
