At the end of the season, the Club World Cup (June 15-July 13 in the United States) and the Euro Espoirs (June 11-28 in Slovakia) will overlap. A happy news for lovers of the round ball who can enjoy two competitions. A little less for some players, affected by the two events, starting with Désiré Doué and Malo Gusto, both members of the Espoirs and Qualified selection for this new 32 -team World Cup, respectively with PSG and Chelsea.

Yes, but here, the Club World Cup, FIFA competition, prevails over the Euro Espoirs and the two French talents will therefore miss the national rally. By then, however, it should not be excluded the hypothesis that Goué and Gusto are called by Didier Deschamps for a rally with the French team A, which would then definitively settle the question of their presence at the Euro Hopes.
