Special Envoy to Faro
Didier Deschamps has the king’s choice. He said in a pre-match press conference, the 23 players of the France team are available for the meeting in Faro against Gibraltar in the Euro 2024 qualifiers this Friday. In view of the evening session behind closed doors on the somewhat deteriorated lawn of the Algarve stadium, the boss of the Blues seems to have made his choice. Olivier Giroud starts in the shoes of the holder and should be associated with Kylian Mbappé and Kingsley Coman in the line of attack.
The Bayern Munich winger would leave, in view of the match watch session, in front of Ousmane Dembélé or Randal Kolo Muani, who can evolve on one side. In the middle, Antoine Griezmann, accompanied by Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni are starters.
Spared at Clairefontaine this week, Théo Hernandez seems to be back on the left side of the defense. This would allow the Madrid player to regain his place in the middle. For the rest, classic, even if Mike Maignan felt a little discomfort at the end of the session. Answer Friday afternoon for the final starting lineup of the Blues.
The probable eleven of the Blues: Maignan – Pavard, Konaté, Upamecano, Hernandez – Griezmann, Tchouaméni, Camavinga – Coman, Giroud, Mbappé (cap)
