The verdict fell. Just over a week from the start of the competition, the FFF communicated the list of blueberries for the Euro Espoirs.
It has been known for a while that Gérald Batic should do without Rayan Cherki or Désiré Doué, summoned by Didier Deschamps among the A for the Final Four of the League of Nations. But it was just a start.
Without Kalimuendo, Akliouche and Ekitike…
Since this euro hopes does not take place over a period protected by FIFA, some clubs were able to “block” their players. This is what happened for Ayyoub Bouaddi (Losc Lille), Eli Junior Kroupi (FC Lorient), Jérémy Jacquet and Arnaud Kalimuendo (Stade Rennais), on whom the Blueberries counted. Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco) had not even been called.
Sunday evening, Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Enzo Millot (VFB Stuttgart) added their names to the list of packages. And here is the group with which Gérald Batic and the Blueberries will attack the competition.
