Didier Deschamps appeared in front of the press this Wednesday to announce the list of players selected for the June. With to start a semi-final of the League of Nations to play on June 5 against Spain, the Blues then hoped to qualify for the final scheduled for June 8, against the winner of the duel between Germany and Portugal. At worst, they will play the little final. For this new list, the tricolor coach has once again made in innovation, with the very first selection of Rayan Cherki.
On the goalkeeper side, Lucas Chevalier, Mike Maignan and Brice Samba were called as during the last rally and the quarter -final of the League of Nations won against Croatia. In defense, confirmed absence of Dayot Upamecano, injured against the Croats and who has not replayed since. On the other hand, return from Lucas Hernandez despite a certain lack of playing time at PSG. No William Saliba, a priori victim of muscle injury.
Rayan Cherki, the thunderbolt
Another defensive return, that of Malo Gusto. Pierre Kalulu also validated his ticket. In the midfield, Warren Zaïre-Emery is there, just like Matteo Guendouzi or Adrien Rabiot. In front, Didier Deschamps chose no less than eight players. And the big novelty is the presence of Rayan Cherki. The future ex of OL will in particular cotoy Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise.
