Ousmane Dembélé will probably be absent at the start of the French team match against Ukraine on Friday (8:45 p.m.) in Poland. The PSG striker, still embarrassed in the Ischios, should not be able to start this qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup.
Two days before the match this Wednesday in Clairefontaine, the Blues did a training session on camera at the end of the afternoon. Ousmane Dembélé did not participate, always training apart with Cyril Moine, the physical trainer.
Gifted and akliouche in balance
For the other blues, the collective session was composed of a big warm-up with Guy Stéphan, the assistant of Didier Deschamps, then of technical-tactical exercises to white (without opposition), a toro and strikes.
The composition of the team that will start the match in Wroclaw begins to take shape. The main uncertainty concerns the right side, where the Parisian desired gifted and the new Monegasque Maghnes Akliouche coming are in balance.
The probable team: Maignan – Koundé, Konaté, Upamecano, Digne – Tchouameni, Rabiot – Doué (or Akliouche), Olise, Barcola – Mbappé (cap.).
