Deschamps calls on Guendouzi
To compensate for the absence of Griezmann, the man with 127 caps, 44 goals and 37 assists, coach Didier Deschamps decided to call up Mattéo Guendouzi.
The Lazio Rome midfielder, sidelined by the Blues since the 2022 World Cup, is having a remarkable season in Serie A with the Biancocelesti.
