The improbable exchange envisaged by Bayern Munich to replace Alphonso Davies

Since the last Euro, Ferland Mendy has sought a lasting place in the French team squad. An undisputed starter with Real Madrid, the former OL player is considered one of the best left defenders in the world. Called up for the September training camp, the Madrilenian will ultimately not be part of the game, as Didier Deschamps explained at a press conference on Monday.

The 29-year-old will be replaced by Lucas Digne: “Ferland Mendy will not be available due to his situation. He will be replaced by Lucas Digne. Badé and Digne will arrive late afternoon.“The 31-year-old is coming off a fine season with Aston Villa and is still performing at a high level with the Villans.
