For the next meetings of the French team, Hervé Renard will be able to rely on Griedge Mbock, who has recovered from a serious injury.
It’s time to move on. After an elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup for which he endorsed ” the responsibility “Hervé Renard is now projected onto the next big event that awaits the French team: the 2024 Olympic Games.
The Blues will face Portugal and Austria in the Nations League, and the coach is recording for these two matches the returns of some senior players who had missed the World Cup due to injury. There is Amandine Henry, who will strengthen the midfield, but also Griedge Mbock, who returned to the field after his serious right knee injury.
The return of Mbock will allow Wendie Renard to find her usual partner in central defense. During the World Cup, Hervé Renard used Elisa De Almeida and Maëlle Lakrar, the latter being one of the great surprises of the competition. But the return of Mbock should bring a little more stability to the Blues.
“It is a great pleasure for me to see her back in the selection, I have followed her development, explained Hervé Renard on Friday at a press conference. I communicated with her and PSG on what to do next. She is not capable of playing entire matches, we will have to be careful but it is important that she ist with us. She was a senior player, she will remain so, it’s good that she comes back and that we give her time to get back to her best level. »
On the other hand, we will have to wait a little longer to see Marie-Antoinette Katoto again. “I have very good news but it is not for me to say more. I hope she will be with us by the next course, it will help expand this group in terms of quality and experience, it will not be negligible”confided the Blue coach about the PSG striker.
