French team: Warren Zaire-Emery and Marcus Thuram should start against Gibraltar

Just called up to the French team at the start of the week, Warren Zaire-Emery will make his big debut on Saturday evening in Nice against Gibraltar (8:45 p.m., TF1). He will be accompanied by Antoine Griezmann and Adrien Rabiot in the middle, if we are to believe the last setup carried out this Friday at the Allianz Riviera. The young Parisian prodigy will at the same time become, at 17 years 8 months and 10 days, the youngest French international since 1945, thus beating the record held until now by Eduardo Camavinga (17 years and 303 days).

In attack, Marcus Thuram will undoubtedly be favored over Olivier Giroud and Randal Kolo Muani. The Inter Milan player, who did not have much playing time during the last rally, will have the opportunity to show himself up front, associated with Kylian Mbappé on the left and Kingsley Coman on the right wing . Finally, Jean-Clair Todibo should also start in the starting team. Back home in Nice, he will be associated with Dayot Upamecano in the axis of the French defense. To occupy the corridors, the staff should trust Jonathan Clauss and Théo Hernandez.

The probable composition of the Blues

Maignan – Clauss, Todibo, Upamecano, T. Hernandez – Griezmann, Zaire-Emery, Rabiot – Coman, M. Thuram, Mbappe (cap.).
