The coach of the France Espoirs team, Thierry Henry, changed three players in his starting lineup for the Blues’ third match as part of qualifying for the next Euro in the category.
After two first victories in the Euro U21 qualifiers (including the last in Bosnia, last Friday), the France Espoirs team hosts Cyprus at the Stade des Alpes in Grenoble, this Tuesday (6:30 p.m., live on the L’Equipe channel ).
Thierry Henry makes three changes in his starting lineup, removing Soungoutou Magassa, Johann Lepenant as well as Bradley Barcola, who was very discreet during the trip to Sarajevo.
Chrislain Matsima replaces his AS Monaco teammate in the central hinge, Maghnes Akliouche accompanies captain Warren Zaire-Emery and Lesley Ugochukwu in the midfield and it is Arnaud Kalimuendo (author of the winning goal in the 92nd against the Serbs) who joins the attacking trio alongside Elie Wahi. Rayan Cherki is number 10 in this 4-4-2 diamond formation.
The starting XI: Remains – Sildillia, Matsima, Yoro, Merlin – Zaire-Emery, Ugochukwu, Akliouche – Cherki – Wahi, Kalimuendo.
Our Hopes which will start against Cyprus 🔥
