At the beginning of the afternoon, Didier Deschamps will disclose his list for the two Blues meetings against Ukraine in Wroclaw (September 5) on Wednesday, then against Iceland at the Parc des Princes (September 9) in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Adrien Rabiot is, according to our information, well to be there.
Only fifteen days ago, his presence among the 23 or 24 players would not have made a shadow of a doubt. But since then, the OM midfielder has been going through an area of turbulence. Placed away from the Marseille group since its muscular altercation with Jonathan Rowe, on August 15, he is officially on the transfers list.
Seen from Clairefontaine, the case does not have the same resonance. Rabiot (30 years old, 53 selections) is not an ordinary player: returned in blue in September 2020 after his refusal to appear among reservists of the 2018 World Cup, he has since become one of the executives most used by Deschamps. Holder during the Final Four of the Nations League in June, against Spain and Germany, he retained this status as a must while several circles are unavailable (Camavong, Kamara).

The coach also knows that August has never been free from burning files. Other tricolor executives have already presented themselves in Clairefontaine after a conflicting summer with their club. This time, the Marseille episode does not call into question the reputation of the player within the Blues, where he enjoys a sanitized image. At the Federation, we hardly worry, convinced that the local storm will not weigh on its role in the selection.
There remains an unknown: in what Rabiot state would it arrive on September 1? The most plausible scenario would be that of a private competition player for two weeks. The best, that of a transfer or even a rapid reintegration to Marseille offering him a new working environment. Deschamps reflects in full consultation with his staff, carefully observing the evolution of the file.
In the background, the future of Rabiot remains open. If a departure was to be emerged, it would logically aim for a high -level European destination, with the Champions League as a privileged horizon. Naples, Inter and Galatasaray, recently come to the news, meet this criterion.
Not Aston Villa, West Ham or AC Milan also attentive to the situation of the vice-world champion 2022. OM coach Roberto de Zerbi, however, opened the door on Saturday 23 August to reconciliation with the “Duke”, to whom he said “handing his hand”, hoping that there is “the conditions for repairing things”.
But the summer market will close its doors in a week (September 1 at 8 p.m.) and, no hypothesis is currently excluding, not even that of seeing the middle starting September with the Olympian jersey on the shoulders. A perspective which, despite the recent eddies, would have nothing to displease him.
