Camavinga takes course at Harvard after omission from France squad

Even though Eduardo Camavinga was left out of France's World Cup squad he was at hand when Les Bleus arrived at their Masachusetts base, taking a brief course at Harvard University.

Midfielder Camavinga came off the bench to play 49 minutes of the last World Cup final as France lost on penalties to Argentina.

He won the last of his 29 France in a friendly in March.

Yet, at 23, was omitted by coach Didier Deschamps this time after finishing the chaotic season at Real Madrid mostly on the bench.

He used the free time to attend a course in entertainment and sport at Harvard Business School.

"A few days of learning, listening and growing," he posted on Saturday on Instagram, below a photo of him at Harvard.

The university, in Cambridge, a suburb of Boston, is five miles from the campus of Bentley University, in Waltham, which the French squad are using as a World Cup base.

Les Bleus arrived during the week while Camavinga was studying, and play their opening game of the World Cup against Senegal on June 16.
