The first supplier club to the French team in history (87 players selected), OM could further increase the score. Considering the start of the season for the Phocaeans, we could have imagined Quentin Merlin shaking up the hierarchy, but the ex-Nantes player is currently injured. Behind and taking into account everyone’s fitness levels, it is difficult to imagine other profiles capable of emerging, knowing that Jonathan Clauss is no longer there. However, two players have learned their pre-selection well in recent days.
According to newspaper information The Teamthey are Elye Wahi and Adrien Rabiot. The first, not selected by Gérald Baticle during the last Espoirs meeting in August, is having a relatively complicated start to the season with his new club, which may therefore come as a surprise. The second, an indisputable starter in the Blues for 2 years, has not played a single official match since the Euro. He should nevertheless experience his first minutes this weekend with OM, against Strasbourg. If for the moment it is only a matter of preselections, in the same way as Florian Thauvin a few days ago, doubts will be lifted on Thursday with the official announcement of Deschamps’ list.
