Fin suspense for football lovers! The coach of the Blues unveiled his list of 25 players selected for the France team for the World Cup in Qatar, on the occasion of the 8 p.m. television news, on TF1, this Wednesday evening.

On the defense side, Lucas Hernandez, Théo Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, Ibrahima Konaté, Jules Koundé, Benjamin Pavard, William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano, as well as Raphaël Varane are called up by Didier Deschamps.
The midfielders selected are Eduardo Camavinga, Youssouf Fofana, Mattéo Guendouzi, Adrien Rabiot, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Jordan Veretout.
In attack, there are Karim Benzema, Kingsley Coman, Ousmane Dembélé, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappé, Christophe Nkunku.
Didier Deschamps explained that the list “was not the easiest” that he had been given to compose because of the number of injured players. The coach, however, was confident: “I know that we will do everything. I trust these 25 players to give their all,” he said. But the level of competition promises to be high, as Didier Deschamps explained: “At the very top level, winning is very difficult. But staying at the top is even harder. Only one team wins. We experienced this immense joy in 2018. It will take a lot to experience it again. There are many qualities in front of us. »
All will be present in Qatar for the entry into the running of the Blues on November 22 against Australia.
