Former France captain Eric Cantona raised eyebrows midweek when his presence at a Peru training session sparked a series of World Cup conspiracy theories through the national press.

“A spy observing the Peru team,” was one headline in the daily Trome, showing a photo of Cantona next to the Peru coach Ricardo Gareca.
“How could the authorities authorise the presence of a Frenchman?” the daily asked.

Observers in France will be aware that there is no love lost between Cantona and France coach Didier Deschamps, who Cantona once called ‘That water carrier’.
“Enemy in the house,” headlined the sports daily Libero, who said they hoped Cantona, who was making a documentary, would not pass on information to Deschamps.
