In good shape on the Madrid side, Aurélien Tchouameni experienced a last mixed rally in early September with the French team. After a completed performance in Ukraine (0-2 victory of the Blues), the 25-year-old midfielder was expelled during the narrow victory of the Didier Deschamps band against Iceland at the Parc des Princes (2-1).
Suspended two matches, Aurélien Tchouameni should therefore not be called by the tricolor coach for the meeting of the month of October, reports The Parisian This Monday.
For this next international window, the French team will welcome Azerbaijan on Friday October 10 (8:45 p.m.), at the Parc des Princes. Then, the Blues will challenge Iceland on Monday October 13 (8:45 p.m.), in Reykjavik. Two meetings counting for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Tchouameni absent, and not only …
Didier Deschamps will unveil his list for these two meetings on Thursday October 2, at 2 p.m., from the FFF headquarters. And in addition to Aurélien Tchouame, “DD” will have to do without several elements, and not the least!
Freshly designated Ballon d'Or 2025, Ousmane Dembélé will not be restored for this international cut. Affected by the hamstrings against Ukraine, the Parisian striker will not return to competition before the end of October.
Deschamps will also be deprived of Rayan Cherki, victim of a tear of the left quadriceps with his new Manchester City club. Wounded at a calf against Ukraine too, Désiré Doué is also very uncertain for this gathering. On the other hand, William Saliba and Eduardo Camavonga, of injury returns, postulates for a place in the group.
