A group reduced to 22 after the injuries of Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Goué, but with the reinforcement of Kingsley Coman. As expected, the new Al-Nassr striker (Saudi Arabia) joined Clairefontaine this Sunday morning, after a short night of sleep due to the 6:30 pm of theft which separated him from Paris.
The former Bayern Munich player normally participated in the session organized at the end of the day, two days before the match against Iceland this Tuesday evening (8:45 p.m.) at the Parc des Princes. After the victory against Ukraine (2-0), the Blues will try to garner 3 additional points in the race for qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

There was no absent for the day’s meeting. The training started at 6.15 p.m., after a few photos and autographs for the public present behind the Balustrades. The Blues, who wanted to honor the Paralympic champions of Cécifoot by arriving by their side on the lawn, carried out a rather classic training concluded by an opposition on half-terrain.

The teams were mixed and did not make it possible to generate real trend for the composition that Deschamps plans to align against the Icelanders.
The tricolor coach should logically bring new blood. In the corridors, Malo Gusto and Théo Hernandez apply to integrate the eleven, ditto for Adrien Rabiot in the middle and Marcus Thuram before. Finally, the newcomer Maghnes Akliouche offers an option to the right to compensate for the Dembélé and Gifés packages.
The likely team: Maignan – Guest, Konaété, upamecano, T. Hernandez – Tchouary, rabbit – akliouche (ou coman), oris, mbappé – Thuram
