In this international school year, the Blues do not have the leisure to play a friendly match, rubbing themselves from the start to Ukraine, Friday in Polish land, as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifications. This four days before welcoming Iceland to the Parc des Princes on behalf of these same qualifiers.
For the occasion, Didier Deschamps promised to rely on his beautiful tricolor offensive arsenal. Even if Ousmane Dembélé, slightly touched muscularly with PSG on the last day of Ligue 1, promises to be spared. At least kick off.
The quartet of the outposts is no less enticing, with the support of Mbappé, in the tip, a probable trio composed of Goué, Olise and Barcola. This in front of a tandem attendant to recovery which will certainly be embodied by the Tchouameni and Koné.
Defense change
Behind, Saliba Package, Upamecano should accompany Konaté as a central hinge, and Digne is expected to start left, thus preferred to the neo-Saudi Théo Hernandez. Koundé occupying the right corridor of a defense overseen by Maignan. Knight will wait …
The eleven of the Blues expected against Ukraine:
Maignan – Koundé, Konaté, Upamecano, Digne – Tchouameni, Koné – Doué, Olise, Barcola – Mbappé.
