Pavard no longer has the same status in the French team

It’s true that I’m in a period where I don’t play much with the France team but I’m young, I’m only 28 years old. I never thought about it. »
The player trained at LOSC has to date 55 caps for the Rooster jersey (five goals scored). The last one dates back to November 17, in the League of Nations. Benjamin Pavard came on in the 82nd minute of the match against Italy (1-3 victory), in place of Jules Koundé.
