What future for Didier Deschamps? His agent says everything

Didier Deschamps, the coach of the French team, unveiled this Thursday the list of 23 players selected for the next international meetings. The Blues will face Azerbaijan on October 10 at the Parc des Princes, before traveling to Reykjavik to challenge Iceland on October 13.

Deprived of several elements – Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Marcus Thuram and Rayan Cherki, all injured -, the Bayonnais technician will also have to do without Aurélien Tchouaméni, suspended. This rally will be marked by the return of William Saliba, absent in September, while Benjamin Pavard was not summoned. Christopher Nkunku finds the group, and Jean-Philippe Mateta discovers his first selection in team A.
