Defender Lucas Hernandez has been recalled to the France squad for this month's Euro 2024 qualifier against Ireland and a friendly against Germany, while midfielders N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba miss out.
PARIS: Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas Hernandez was called back Thursday to the France squad ahead of a European Championship qualifying match, nine months after a serious knee injury. Hernandez, who joined PSG from Bayern Munich, was included in a 23-man list by France coach Didier Deschamps. France will resume their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign against Ireland at Parc des Princes on Sept. 7. The 2018 World Cup champions then play a friendly at Germany on Sept. 12. With four wins in as many matches, France are in first place in Group B with a six-point lead over Greece. Hernandez, who has 33 international appearances under his belt, has not played with France since he ruptured the ACL in his right knee eight minutes into the national team’s opening game against Australia at last year’s World Cup.
Republic of Ireland Under-19 international Rocco Vata could be set to leave Celtic, with Serie A among one of his possible destinations.
Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny has recalled Shane Duffy and Aaron Connolly to his 25-man squad for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024 qualifiers against France and the Netherlands.
CAPE TOWN : Scotland have been nothing if not consistent at the World Cup, reaching at least the quarter-finals in seven of their nine previous appearances but they will need to produce an upset if they are to reach that stage this time round.
DUBLIN : For the third successive World Cup, it is hard to separate Ireland's fate from the fitness of Johnny Sexton, their captain and lynchpin who will play his last game of rugby at some point over the coming weeks.
DUBLIN : Having made flattering to deceive an art form in recent Rugby World Cups, Ireland can justifiably say this time really is different when they make the short trip as genuine contenders.
CAPE TOWN : South Africa go into the defence of the Rugby World Cup title with a renewed swagger and greater squad depth than recent years, but are on a side of the draw that means they are playing "knockout rugby" from game one in France.
