This Thursday, March 14 (2 p.m.), Didier Deschamps will announce the list of players called up to face Germany and then Chile in friendly matches on March 23 and 26. RMC Sport takes stock of the latest trends, including the hypothesis of a first call-up for Bradley Barcola.
This Thursday March 14 (from 2 p.m.), this is Didier Deschamps’ last list before that of Euro 2024 (June 14-July 14), which he should communicate around May 15. Before that, the Blues coach will take advantage of the next two friendly matches, Saturday March 23 in Lyon once morest Germany then Tuesday March 26 in Marseille once morest Chile, to review his internationals.
This list should not contain any big surprises, just compensating for the injuries to Boubacar Kamara and Adrien Rabiot in midfield and that of Kingsley Coman in attack. Even if this is an uncertainty for Rabiot, no risks will be taken.
On the other hand, Deschamps will be able to count on Antoine Griezmann and Marcus Thuram, returning from injuries to an ankle and adductors respectively. If Griezmann will return to the field this Wednesday evening in the Champions League once morest Inter Milan, Thuram played once more in Serie A at the beginning of the month once morest Genoa and Bologna.
In order to compensate for the absences in the middle, Jordan Veretout and Mateo Guendouzi hold the rope for a possible return to Blue alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Youssouf Fofana and the confirmation of Warren Zaire-Emery, called up for the first time in November last.
The Blues staff might test Barcola
On the other hand, in the offensive sector, the blues staff are considering the idea of testing Bradley Barcola to compensate for Coman’s package. The former Lyonnais might benefit from a revamped hopeful selection to prepare for the next Games with U23s, with players born from January 1, 2001, to cross the steps of the Château de Clairefontaine and find Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani and Kylian Mbappé, his partners at PSG. Especially since Christopher Nkunku, who returned in January with Chelsea, relapsed a month later.
For the rest, no revolution. Up front, Olivier Giroud should be there, as will the same three goalkeepers as during the previous gathering (Mike Maignan, Alphonse Areola, Brice Samba). In defense, Jonathan Clauss should be called on the right with Jules Koundé. On the left, that should be the Hernandez brothers. In line? The Pavard-Saliba-Upamecano-Konaté quartet holds the rope, even if doubt remains for the latter. He was not in the Liverpool group once morest Manchester City but might return this weekend to the Premier League, which would validate his call-up. Otherwise, Axel Disasi, whose performances with Chelsea have been noted in recent weeks, leaves with a head start over Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo.
