Practically qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the Blues still have two matches to play in the qualifying phase. They will receive Ukraine on November 13 and go to Azerbaijan three days later. But while Didier Deschamps announced his list this Thursday, he will have to review it. Randal Kolo Muani is not expected to be operational.
Although aligned this Saturday with Tottenham during the draw conceded against Manchester United (2-2), the French striker is heading towards a package, according to information from L’Équipe. The media explained that the player on loan from PSG suffered from a jaw injury.
Bad news for Randal Kolo Muani who had not been called up for selection since the start of the season and who was counting on this gathering to find some momentum, he who has not been able to do so since his arrival at Spurs. A hard blow also for Didier Deschamps who will still have to rework his list.
The Blues are almost there
Already deprived of Parisians Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, the French coach will summon a replacement in the event of official confirmation of Kolo Muani’s withdrawal. Whatever happens, the mission remains the same for the France team. With ten points on the clock, they are ahead of Ukraine by three points.
A draw should be enough for her to validate her ticket because she is six points ahead of Iceland (3rd), with a much better goal difference than the latter (+6 against +2). It now remains to know the name of Randal Kolo Muani’s replacement.
