In balance with Moussa Diaby to replace a Kingsley Coman package for this gathering, Bradley Barcola will finally have to console himself with the France Espoirs team.
Didier Deschamps has decided. If Adrien Rabiot, announced forfeit, was finally retained in the list of 23 for France-Germany (March 23) and France-Chile (March 26), depriving Jordan Veretout or Mattéo Guendouzi of a return to the A, Kingsley Coman will be missed as for him indeed this first gathering of the year.
On paper, two players seemed to be holding the rope to replace him in attack, Bradley Barcola and Moussa Diaby. And the Blues coach preferred to rely on the experience of the second, who already has 10 selections, the last dating back to March 27, 2023, in Ireland (0-1). Why such a choice ?

Diaby, a chance to be at the Euro?
Moussa Diaby will therefore play big during this training course. “It’s pressurerecognizes the French coach. But it can also give him a lot of hope, to do everything to be on the list for the Euro. He has not lost all his qualities, his playing time has been reduced a little but he is capable of being decisive, of scoring and of making people score. For him, it’s an opportunity. »
