Pelatih Prancis, Didier Deschamps, mengatakan bahwa timnya tidak kebal terhadap konteks 'berat' dari pertandingan yang akan datang melawan Israel, menyusul bentrokan kekerasan antara penduduk setempat dan suporter Israel di Amsterdam pekan lalu.
There is a strong and almost undoubted sentiment that France is not only a major contender for the FIFA 2026 World Cup title, but Les Bleus quite simply are the ones to beat.
Prancis resmi mengumumkan skuad untuk Piala Dunia 2026. Kylian Mbappe dan Ousmane Dembele masih bakal jadi andalan Les Bleus di lini depan.
PARIS, May 14 : France coach Didier Deschamps acknowledged his side are among the favourites for the World Cup but urged his players to concentrate on their opening opponents before thinking about advancing deeper into the tournament.
PARIS: Kylian Mbappe will spearhead France at the World Cup after coach Didier Deschamps on Thursday announced his 26-man squad for this summer’s tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Deschamps, who guided France to World Cup glory in 2018 and will leave his role after the 2026 edition, included few surprises. “It’s a squad. Not necessarily the 26 best players. It’s about balance and how the team comes together,” Deschamps told French TV channel TF1. “The overriding and essential criterion (for selection) is a sporting one,” the 57-year-old later explained to journalists. Mbappe will likely captain the team from the get-go despite a thigh injury sustained last month, which caused him to miss key matches in Real Madrid’s La Liga run-in. The 27-year-old will be joined on the plane to North America by an array of attacking talent such as Ballon d’Or holder Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue of Paris Saint-Germain, as well as Bayern Munich winger Michael Olize. Rayan Cherki will make his World Cup debut. The 22-year-old playmaker has enjoyed a sparkling debut season at Manchester City, while his Premier League rival William Saliba of Arsenal will provide defensive solidity for Les Bleus. Dayot Upamecano of Bundesliga champions Bayern will be expected to partner Saliba in the heart of the France defense, with Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate and Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix also included.
PARIS, May 14 : Uncapped goalkeeper Robin Risser and Crystal Palace duo Maxence Lacroix and Jean-Philippe Mateta were all named in France’s World Cup squad by coach Didier Deschamps on Thursday.
May 5 : Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy has suffered a muscular injury to his right quad, the club said on Monday, raising the prospect of another lengthy layoff for the Frenchman, who only returned in November after surgery on the same leg last year.
Real Madrid are facing a nervous wait over the fitness of Kylian Mbappé after the superstar forward limped out of Friday's 1-1 draw with Real Betis.
France will have rich depth in attack at the World Cup.
