The coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, could create a surprise by calling a new striker in the event of confirmation of Randal Kolo Muani’s package for the next two matches of the Blues.
Recruited Friday evening by PSG for 90 million euros, at the end of an incredible soap opera, Randal Kolo Muani will not make his debut with his new team during the shock against OL, Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.), at Groupama Stadium. The French international is recovering from a sprained right ankle and will remain in care for the next few days “Said the capital club on Saturday, which calls into question its presence in the France team.
The former Nantes player is part of the group summoned by Didier Deschamps for the 5th match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, next Thursday against Ireland, at the Parc des Princes, then for a gala meeting against Germany, on Tuesday According to Dortmund. “RKM” is obviously expected on Monday at Clairefontaine and the French coach will then decide whether or not to replace the 24-year-old striker. There’s no reason not to let him rest…
Ben Yedder and Lacazette, it’s unlikely…
If “La Dèche” decides to summon a new striker, especially another center forward (to accompany Olivier Giroud and Marcus Thuram), he would then offer a surprise. He hasn’t called up any number 9 other than Karim Benzema for a year. Wissam Ben Yedder, long present in the group, has not been called since June 2022. The national coach could avoid a controversy by leaving aside a player indicted for rape, attempted rape and sexual assault .
As with Ben Yedder, the return of Alexandre Lacazette would be a real surprise. The OL striker has been boarded up since 2017! The other solutions are few. Arnaud Kalimuendo and Elie Wahi, summoned by Thierry Henry in Espoirs, do not deserve to be promoted to the A compared to their current form. In the end, Anthony Martial, much appreciated by “DD”, would be the “easy” solution. He is no more successful than the others, but started with Manchester United a week ago.
