For Didier Deschamps, the absence of Moussa Diaby from the list of 23 summoned for Ireland and Germany is mainly due to a concern for balance within the workforce of the Blues.
Present at a press conference this Thursday, Didier Deschamps unveiled the list of players selected to take part in the next meetings of the Tricolores against Ireland as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, on September 7 at the Parc des Princes and against Germany in a friendly, on September 12 in Dortmund. A list which does not include Moussa Diaby (24 years old, 4 matches, 2 goals), who made a promising start with Aston Villa. Asked about the absence of the new recruit from the Villansthe Bayonne technician explained the reasons for his choice.
“It’s true that he’s had a good start to the season, he scores and scores, in a position that has evolved, since he plays more as a second striker. He could have been on the list, but there is also a balance to be had between midfielders and forwards, thus entrusted the Desch. I won’t be able to play them all, and it’s not as if there were three days between the two games, since there will be five. The Bayonne master player encouraged the French striker to continue his momentum. But it’s very good what he does, he does everything to be called “he assured.
