It's the big day for the Blueberries. This Monday evening (10 p.m. on Monday evening, the French U20 team will start its World Cup against South Africa, Rancagua, Chile. A competition for which coach Bernard Diomède is deprived of his best elements.
Indeed, this World U20 does not enter the FIFA calendar, clubs are not forced to release their players. And unfortunately for Bernard Diomède, many selectable elements were blocked by their management. This is particularly the case of Désiré Doué.
Currently injured in a calf, and still uncertain to face Barça this Wednesday in the Champions League, Désiré Doué was retained by Paris Saint-Germain. Just like his teammates Warren Zaïre-Emery and Senny Mayulu.
In addition to gifted, Diomedes deprived of several talents
Young Parisians are not the only ones to have been blocked by their club. This is also the case of Lenny Yoro (Manchester United), Mathys Tel (Tottenham), Khalis Merah (OL), Ayyoub Bouaddi (Lille), Saël Kumbedi (Wolfsburg), Jeanuël Belocian (Bayer Leverkusen), Daryl Bakola (OM), Dehmaine Tabibou (Nantes), Guillaume Restres (Toulouse) or Still Aladji Bamba (Monaco).
It is therefore private blueberries from their best elements that are about to start the World Cup this Sunday. After South Africa, they will face the United States on Thursday and New Caledonia on Sunday. As a reminder, the last time the French U20 team was crowned world champion was in 2013, with the Pogba, Thauvin and Umtiti generation.
