EdF: Benjamin Pavard called in reinforcement by Didier Deschamps

Clearly, Didier Deschamps has rarely needed to call on as many unexpected reinforcements as during this October gathering. Deprived of many executives from the French team, the coach decided to summon Jean-Philippe Mateta and Florian Thauvin, who were called up following all the injuries in the offensive sector.

The Blues defense is also not spared from injuries. This Saturday, Ibrahima Konaté was announced forfeit for the match against Iceland on Monday. To replace him, Deschamps decided to call on Benjamin Pavard as indicated The Parisian. Author of successful first steps with Olympique de Marseille, the 29-year-old defender is therefore making his return to the Blues after his last call-up during the September rally.
