France-Croatia, upheaval validated for the composition

Gathered in Clairefontaine since yesterday, the Blues selected for the double meeting of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Azerbaijan trained this Tuesday during a session open to the public.

Although they did participate in a signing session with the supporters, Eduardo Camavinga and Jules Koundé, on the other hand, did not take part in the collective training, contenting themselves with running for a few minutes with the physical trainer Cyril Moine.

At this time, the withdrawal of the Madrid midfielder and the Barcelona defender for the match against Ukraine at the Parc des Princes on Thursday evening is not news. The 22 other Blues observed a fun session made up of various games and oppositions on a quarter of the field.
