With the packages of Delphine Cascarino and Marie-Antoinette Katoto, the France team is deprived of two of its best assets for the World Cup. Hervé Renard will be forced to tinker to save the furniture.
Arrived a few months ago on the bench of the French women’s team, Hervé Renard took the post of coach of the Blue in an already particular context, with the departures of Corinne Deacon and Noël Le Graët. As the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand begins on July 20, France is without Delphine Cascarino and Marie-Antoinette Katoto in attack. Huge absentees for the Blues and for Hervé Renard who must also monitor the form of Kadidiatou Diani, who suffered a fractured right collarbone during the Champions League quarter return against Wolfsburg at the end of March. The French technician is forced to make several changes before the first match of the World Cup against Jamaica on July 23.

If Cascarino and Katoto are already forfeited, Hervé Renard can count on the return of Eugénie Le Sommer, top scorer in the history of the France team with 88 achievements. The Lyonnaise has had many physical problems in recent years but the 34-year-old striker is starting to come back. Good news for Hervé Renard who will probably leave the front of the attack to Le Sommer. Thus, if Kadidiatou Diani is fit for the World Cup, she will be able to recover her preferential position, on the right side. Finally, concerning the offensive animation on the left, the former coach of Saudi Arabia is spoiled for choice with Sandy Baltimore, Amel Majri, Selma Bacha or Clara Mateo. Four players who are able to occupy this left lane. Hervé Renard will unveil his list on June 20 at Clairefontaine and there will probably be surprises, by force of circumstance.
