Deschamps list: Olise called up and several surprises announced

The French football team is making its big comeback in September for the League of Nations.

The French team is making its big comeback! After a long three-month break following the end of the Euro and a summer punctuated in particular by the Paris 2024 Olympic Games brilliant for the French U21 team, in silver after its defeat against Spain in the semi-final, Didier Deschamps' French team returns to competition with the new season of the Nations League.

For this new list Didier Deschamps should call the brand new Bayern Munich striker, Michael Olise, impressive during the Olympics. On the other hand, Kinglsey Coman, should not be part of the game. The surprises announced would rather be in defense with perhaps the absence of Benjamin Pavard, blocked by Saliba, Konaté and Upamecano and probably Disasi. On the sides, the rumor mentions the young full-back Sacha Boey, but Malo Gusto should hold the rope and join the France group.
