Final 4 of the League of Nations is fast approaching for the French team. On June 4, in Stuttgart, the Blues will actually face Spain in the semi-final of the competition, before a possible shock against Germany or Portugal in the final. With which players Didier Deschamps will this take this big meeting?

Before the official announcement of his list, scheduled for Wednesday May 21, the coach of the Blues in any case no options, especially in attack. Between Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Michael Olise, Marcus Thuram, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Randal Kolo Muani, called in March, “DD” really embarrassed by choice.

And that's the problem, especially for the integrist. Author of 18 goals and 9 assists this season with the Nerazzurri, all competitions, the future finalist of the Champions League will find it difficult to hold in Blue, according to Daniel Riolo. According to him, the Milanese is “Below” of the Mbappé-Dembélé-Olise trio in the tricolor offensive hierarchy.

Marcus Thuram ordered to be replacement

After Foot On RMC. There will always be this problem with Marcus Thuram. »» The qualities of the former Guingampais are not in question. It is actually tactically that there is a concern with his profile.

Unless you change the system, a scenario which seems unlikely given the reluctance of Didier Deschamps in this area, this is the son of Lilian Thuram and big brother of Khéphren sentenced to be replacing in selection. Not necessarily what he aspires to, when he is probably at 27 in the best years of his career.
