After losing Maxence Caqueret, Adrien Truffert and Melvin Bard on Monday to injury, the France U23 team will also have to do without Joris Chotard for their next two games. Niels Nkounkou (Saint-Etienne) and Han-Noah Massengo (Auxerre) will strengthen Sylvain Ripoll’s squad.
The comings and goings never end within the selection hopes. This Tuesday, the Bleuets had to deplore the package of Montpellier midfielder Joris Chotard, not fit for the entire rally due to an injury, the nature of which has not been specified.
To compensate for the absence of the Hérault player, Sylvain Ripoll summoned Saint-Etienne defender Niels Nkounkou, who was part of the French Olympic team at the Tokyo Olympics. Midfielder Han-Noah Massengo (Auxerre) is also called up to strengthen the squad.
Three packages already registered on Monday
On Monday, the hopefuls had already lost Melvin Bard (Nice), Adrien Truffert (Rennes) and Maxence Caqueret (OL), all forfeited due to a physical glitch. Midfielder Andy Diouf, on loan from Stade Rennais to FC Basel, and Troyes defender Yasser Larouci were then called in as reinforcements.
In order to prepare for the Euro in Romania and Georgia from June 21 to July 8, the France U23 team will face England (Saturday at 6 p.m.) and Spain (Tuesday March 28 at 6:30 p.m.) in a friendly match.
