The coach of the France team Didier Deschamps unveiled this Thursday at the start of the afternoon the list of 23 players called up for the next two games, against the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 qualifiers (1:10 p.m.) in Germany before facing Scotland in a friendly match four days later (17.10). The right side of Olympique de Marseille Jonathan Clauss notably makes his return to Blue, a year after his non-selection for the Qatari World Cup.
Present at a press conference after the announcement of his group, the French technician wanted to justify the return of the former Lensois to Clairefontaine. “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”before ironically about his role in the tricolor locker room: “he’s going to come back just like that, to rediscover the castle and talk with me, that’s the most important thing (laughs)”.
