Called up to the A by Didier Deschamps, Warren Zaire-Emery starts against Gibraltar this Saturday evening in Nice.

The French team hosts Gibraltar in Nice this Saturday as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. A match without stakes since the Blues are already qualified and their opponents ruled out. However, this match will be worth its weight in gold for one boy in particular.

Aged 17 years, 8 months and 10 days, Warren Zaire-Emery will become the youngest post-war French international, starting in midfield alongside Antoine Griezmann and Adrien Rabiot. A new symbol of exceptional precocity for the young nugget of PSG.

Another element that plays a big role this evening despite the relative adversity embodied by the 198e world nation, Marcus Thuram, preferred to Randal Kolo Muani and Olivier Giroud at the forefront, associated in the offensive with Kingsley Coman and Kylian Mbappé.

In defense, in front of Mike Maignan, the central hinge composed of Jean-Clair Todibo, the local of the stage, and Dayot Upamecano will be supervised by Jonathan Clauss and Théo Hernandez.

The eleven tricolors: Maignan – Clauss, Todibo, Upamecano, T. Hernandez – Griezmann, Zaire-Emery, Rabiot – Coman, Thuram, Mbappé.
