France announce squad for September International break
France were runners-up in 2022 Qatar World Cup
This Thursday afternoon, Didier Deschamps, the head coach of the France national team, unveiled his starting lineup for the September matches. Lucas Hernandez, a left-back for Paris Saint-Germain, made his international comeback with France nine months after sustaining a season-ending ACL injury.
After the initial victory of Les Bleus against Australia in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, the former Bayern Munich player fell to the ground in misery.
Ibrahima Konaté, a Liverpool centre-back who had a slight muscle injury, wasn’t certain to start. Ultimately, the former Leipzig player is called up once more.
Despite having recently played for their respective teams, N’Golo Kanté and Paul Pogba have been left out of Deschamps’ France midfield.
