Here we are ! Euro 2024 will begin this Friday evening, with the entry into the running of the host country, Germany, opposed to Scotland. For the French team, it will start on Monday with a duel against Austria. What will the face of Didier Deschamps’ Blues look like? The preparation was a little truncated by some notable absences, between the injuries contracted during the end of the season, the minor blows received and the poor form observed. This affects some major players, like Kylian Mbappé, who is spared.
A priori, Didier Deschamps will be able to count on a solid group, if not complete. Doubts also accompany players like Tchouaméni and Coman. Rabiot seems fit, having previously missed the two preparation matches against Luxembourg and Canada. As for the tactical scheme, it appears to be evolving, with coach Didier Deschamps willing to return to a 4-3-3 which would place Antoine Griezmann in a hybrid role in midfield.
