D-10. In ten days, Didier Deschamps will reveal his list of players selected to play in the 2026 World Cup. A list in which a certain Hugo Lloris could appear. According to newspaper information
The Teamthe former captain of the Blues, who retired internationally at the end of the 2022 World Cup, would not say no to a return to the Blues as number 3 behind Mike Maignan and Brice Samba.
“ Out of modesty and respect for the guards in place, he will never campaign to be there, he does not want to be the one who steals the placehis relatives confided to the sports daily. But obviously he wouldn’t say no to a call-up to the French team. Once again, it is not a question of putting himself forward or using leverage to succeed in being called. »
Sunday, after Rennes’ defeat at Lyon (4-2), Brice Samba was questioned in the mixed zone about a possible return of Hugo Lloris to the selection. A prospect which will not displease the Rennes goalkeeper.
Samba on Lloris: “If we call on him, we will be happy”
“We all know Hugo and his quality, he is someone who left his mark on French football. If he comes with us, it will be with the greatest joy, declared Brice Samba to journalists.
I don’t know him, I wasn’t in the French team yet, I watched him on TV, he’s a very great goalkeeper and he’s making a good start to the championship in America. If we call on him, we’ll be happy too, but honestly, I don’t know where this information came from. »
It now remains to be seen what Didier Deschamps thinks. During the last meeting, it was Lucas Chevalier who was called up as number 3. But the former Lille player’s place is more threatened than ever. It must be said that he has not played with PSG for three months and even injured his right thigh last week.
