Finalist of the last edition, the France team will fly to the United States in a few weeks to compete in the 2026 World Cup. By then, Didier Deschamps will have revealed his list. The coach will speak on May 14 to reveal the 25 (or 26) players he will take with him. Certain choices are also being clarified. Whether positive or negative.
The Sunday show Téléfoot delivered its latest indiscretions and discussed current trends concerning the thoughts of the French staff regarding this famous composition. For Kylian Mbappé, who suffered a hamstring injury a week ago during Real Madrid’s match against Real Betis, there would be no need for concern. The injury of the captain of the Blues is
“deemed minor” side of the French team, and should not prevent him from being there.
Still on the attacking side, Marcus Thuram continues to convince, thanks in particular to these recent performances with Inter Milan. Lilian Thuram’s son is also expected to fly to North America. In midfield, the situation is significantly different for Eduardo Camavinga. Disappointing and less and less used at Real Madrid, the former Stade Rennais would be on unfavorable waivers.
Didier Deschamps does not foresee the return of Hugo Lloris
The Madrilenian is currently behind Manu Koné, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Adrien Rabiot, Warren Zaire-Emery, and even N’Golo Kanté, in the hierarchy of French circles. Kanté, whose presence at the 2026 World Cup is also on track, according to the media.
Finally, the case of Hugo Lloris was mentioned. If he did not apply, the Los Angeles FC goalkeeper clearly suggested that he would not say no if Didier Deschamps offered him the position of third goalkeeper. A place for which Alphonse Areola remains a serious candidate. According to Téléfoot, the return of Hugo Lloris is not part of the coach’s plans.
