Just a few days after announcing his list of 26 players for the 2026 World Cup, Didier Deschamps is holding his breath. The reason? Three worrying alerts among the called players. The first concerns Manu Koné. Indeed, the AS Roma midfielder felt muscle discomfort in training this week, which could compromise his departure with the Blues if the injury turns out to be serious, according to Sky Italia.

At the same time, Ousmane Dembélé came out in the 27th minute of play this Sunday against Paris FC. According to the latest information, the Ballon d’Or would have felt discomfort in his calf but there was not necessarily cause for concern. Finally, Aurélien Tchouaméni – who recently introduced Fede Valverse to his boxing talents – had to leave his place with Real Madrid during the 1-0 victory against Sevilla FC. “Vinicius Junior left with some discomfort, Aurélien (Tchouameni) too. No serious injuries”however declared Alvaro Arbeloa.
