The French team will finally make its big school year. It was this Thursday, at 2 p.m., that Didier Deschamps will unveil the list of 23 Blues summoned for the upcoming double confrontation against Croatia (March 20 and 23), in the quarterfinals of the League of Nations. Should we expect surprises from the tricolor coach?
Without cataclysm, Kylian Mbappé should return to Clairefontaine well, after having missed the last two rallies of 2024. Despite the controversies linked to his stay in Sweden in October, the Real Madrid striker should even recover his captain's armband for this first international meeting of the year.
A surprise in the list of Blues?
Offensively, the Merengue should find his ex-co-teams at PSG, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani and Bradley Barcola, but perhaps not Marcus Thuram. Inter Milan scorer has been hit in the ankle for several weeks and has to play under infiltration, as Tuesday evening against Feyenoord Rotterdam in the Champions League.
A physical glitch who did not prevent him from scoring against the Dutch, but no doubt it would be better for him than “DD” leaves him at rest during this truce. In the event of a package, the 1998 world champion could make a happy one in the person of Désiré Doué, who would make his first team appearance of France A.
“A possible package by Marcus Thuram could open the door of the Blues to Désiré Douéreveals the journalist of RMC Sport Fabrice Hawkins, on his X account (formerly Twitter).
He is followed and appreciated by the staff of the Blues“. The young Parisian (19) would have “One step ahead of Magnès Akliouche, Rayan Cherki or Hugo Ekitike”.
