Didier Deschamps presented this Thursday
the list of players summoned for the last gathering of this year 2025. A decisive stage for the France team, which must punch its ticket for the World Cup.
Among the coach’s strong decisions, it was difficult not to notice the return of Randal Kolo Muani. Despite a difficult patch in his club career, the striker continues to benefit from Deschamps’ confidence.

Loaned to Tottenham this season, Randal Kolo Muani, who still belongs to Paris Saint-Germain, has still not cleared his account with Spurs. His technical profile contrasts with the characteristics of Florian Thauvin, scorer during his return to Blue last month and influential with Lens.
Deschamps justifies himself for Kolo Muani
Aware that Randal Kolo Muani’s popularity rating is not exceptional, Didier Deschamps sought to justify his choice. “He had not resumed, he was injured (during previous rallies). Appreciated, not appreciated… we are not here to only take players we like. »
“ I have choices to make. From the moment he recovered and was able to have more playing time, he has been part of this France group for a good while because of what he has had to do, even if he has not always had maximum efficiency. He can play in different positions, he knows this group well. From the moment he becomes operational again, it seems logical to me that he comes back with us“, concluded the coach. As a reminder, Randal Kolo Muani can boast of having finished top scorer in the selection in 2024. A past which gives sufficient credit to the former Parisian.
