CdM 2026: OL calls on Didier Deschamps for Corentin Tolisso

This Friday evening, the French team was able to find out its next opponents for the final phase of the 2026 World Cup. During the draw organized in Washington, the Blues inherited a fairly strong group with Senegal, Norway as well as the winner of the intercontinental play-off between Iraq and the winner of the Bolivia-Suriname match.

And before the Blues list for the 2026 World Cup, Olympique Lyonnais made an appeal to Didier Deschamps: select Corentin Tolisso so that he can participate in the match against Senegal and his Senegalese teammate Moussa Niakhaté (29 years old). “Didier, you cannot deprive us of a duel in the World Cup Corentin Tolisso vs Moussa Niakhaté”wrote the Lyon club on its social networks.
