He has not been called up to the French team since 2019 and is on Didier Deschamps’ shortlist to face Israel and Belgium next October.
He is world champion, crowned in 2018 in Russia, and yet he has not worn the jersey bearing the rooster since June 11, 2019 and a Euro qualifying match against Andorra. On the occasion of this match, Florian Thauvin donned his 10th tricolor cap. And last to date.
More than five years have passed since then and here is the former Marseillais back in Didier Deschamps’ good books. According to L’Equipe, Florian Thauvin would be on the list of players pre-summoned to face Israel and Belgium, on October 10 and 14, in the Nations League.
A thunderous start to the season
Having left OM in 2021 to join Mexico and the Tigres de Monterrey, Florian Thauvin returned to Europe in 2023 to bounce back in the ranks of Udinese, in Serie A. Never since then had he been called up to prepare for a possible national selection. The logical reward for an excellent start to the season marked by four goals and three assists in six matches in all competitions.
Recently on RMC, his former coach Rudi Garcia predicted such a return to the forefront for the 31-year-old from Orléans: ” It’s up to him to continue to carry Udinese, and at that point, of course, he will be able to apply for the French team again. He is a creative person, his profile is lacking a little. We talked about it during the Euro, when Antoine Griezmann was a little less good and we were lacking a little creativity. »
