This Thursday at the start of the afternoon, Didier Deschamps revealed his list for the Blues’ next two matches, against the Netherlands and Scotland, with a big comeback.
As the second international break of the 2023-2024 season approaches, with on the menu for the Blues: a trip to the Netherlands (October 13) as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, and a friendly match against Scotland in Lille (October 17), Didier Deschamps revealed his list this Thursday at 2 p.m.
And small event: Jonathan Clauss returns to Clairefontaine. The Marseille right-back had not been called up by the French coach for more than a year. “There is a question of competition in relation to what he achieves in this position, where he did not play last season and where he plays more regularly, with his own qualities as a right back”indicated DD on the case of the ex-Lensois.
Konaté returns, exit Disasi and Todibo
Also note the return to the group of Ibrahima Konaté. And it is Jean-Clair Todibo and Axel Disasi who are paying the price for these returns in defense. For the rest, Deschamps did not upset his group. The former Juve coach decided to trust the same goalkeepers, midfielders and attackers as in the previous gathering.
