The Teamthe answer was far from obvious, the sports media then evoking a little secrecy from Hervé Renard. But the day after this questioning, the specialized site changed its point of view and according to it, the two players will be aligned.

The uncertainty will therefore not have lasted very long. If the starting line-up of the left-back and the midfielder is now taking shape, it is in any case a big relief for the supporters of the French team, especially since the French defensive line should also record the return of the captain, Wendie Renard, victim of a minor alert which deprived her of the last match against New Zealand.
