The French team carried out very light training on Wednesday two days before facing Gibraltar in Faro (Portugal), a session in which Dayot Upamecano did not participate due to a small bruise on one foot. The defender of the Blues remained “in care” after receiving “a blow to a foot”, specified the management of the France team, without worrying about the chances of seeing the Bayern Munich player participate in the Friday’s meeting (8:45 p.m.), counting for the qualifications for Euro 2024.

Defender Theo Hernandez, absent from collective training since Monday due to calf pain, did individual race work with physical trainer Cyril Moine, to test himself. The 21 other players were content with a “toro” (passing game) in a good mood, before a strike exercise. A few minutes earlier, they had shared the lawn with about twenty children during an operation with the sponsors of the Federation. The Blues fly to Faro, in southern Portugal, on the eve of facing Gibraltar on Thursday. They then welcome Greece, Monday in Saint-Denis, to close their season.
