Florian Thauvin was preselected by Didier Deschamps for the Blues matches during the month of October. The 2018 world champion could, however, not be the only surprise on the French list during this second gathering of the season.
According to information from L’Equipe, Elye Wahi received his pre-call-up for these next two Nations League matches. Even if he has been through all the youth selections, it is surprising to see the former Montpellier player appear in Deschamps’ youngsters.
Deschamps continues to innovate
Wahi is clearly not going through the best period of his career. Since moving to Marseille, he has only found the net once. It was during his first match against Brest. However, he was started four times by Roberto De Zerbi. Calling on young people who are in doubt, is this perhaps the concept of “regeneration” that DD has been advocating since the takeover?
Wahi is not the only Olympian to have been called to be ready. This is also the case for Adrien Rabiot. Recruited by Marseille two weeks ago, the Duke has not played a single match since the semi-final of the last Euro against Spain. However, he could make his big debut with OM this Sunday against Strasbourg. He is on the list of players summoned for this meeting.
