Didier Deschamps would have decided on the returns of Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kanté to the France team.
The announcement of Didier Deschamps’ first list of the season is approaching. It is this Thursday at 2 p.m. that the French coach will reveal his list of players selected to face the Republic of Ireland on Thursday September 7 at the Parc des Princes, as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, and dedicate the Germany five days later in a friendly match at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.
Two meetings that N’Golo Kanté and Paul Pogba will not compete in, according to information from RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins. The question of their return to Clairefontaine necessarily arose for these two 2018 world champions and former “DD” executives, who returned to the field in competition after several physical glitches.

No surprise in the middle?
In the middle, Didier Deschamps should recall Adrien Rabiot, package during the rally last June. This should be at the expense of Marseillais Jordan Veretout or Boubacar Kamara, called up in June after Rabiot’s package. Author of a good start to the season with OGC Nice, Khéphren Thuram could be called up again alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga and Youssouf Fofana.
