If Mike Maignan will start France-Gibraltar this Saturday, Brice Samba will be started by Didier Deschamps during the last match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers in Greece, next Tuesday.

A 13th French selection for Mike Maignan this weekend, then a second for Brice Samba in a few days. Didier Deschamps, the coach of the France team, announced that he will change his goalkeeper between the reception of Gibraltar, this Saturday in Nice (8:45 p.m.), and the match against Greece, next Tuesday in Athens, to conclude the qualifiers of Euro 2024.

As a reminder, the Blues have already qualified for the next European Nations Championship in Germany. They will be one of the six seeds in the draw for the competition (on December 2) with less than two defeats against the Gibraltarians and the Hellenes…

Alphonse Areola is the 3rd goalkeeper in the “La Dèche” group and has already played this role during the last two World Cups, in Russia and Qatar. The player trained at PSG has 5 matches with the France team.
