PARIS (AP) — Antoine Griezmann’s alarming drop in form means his starting place for France at the World Cup is under threat from Christopher Nkunku. If Griezmann’s struggles continue in two international matches in September, coach Didier Deschamps could select Leipzig’s Nkunku when France begins its title defense in Qatar two months later. Nkunku started ahead of Griezmann in a Nations League match against Croatia on Monday. Les Bleus lost 1-0 and relinquished the Nations League title. France looked poor in the Nations League, losing at home to Denmark and Croatia and also drawing in Croatia.
