The coach of the France team Corinne Deacon opted Tuesday for an expanded list of 27 players for the next Tournament of France, which will not be able to play Amandine Henry, injured last weekend in a calf.
A ghost
For this first list of the year 2021, the boss of the Bleues recalled the midfielder Sandie Toletti, former Montpellier now in Levante in Spain.
The 25-year-old has not played in the selection since 2017, a friendly against Chile on the evening of her 13th selection.
Three news
The list includes for the first time the names of Mylène Chavas and Constance Picaud, respectively goalkeepers of Dijon and Le Havre AC, as well as that of Ella Palis, midfielder of Bordeaux.
A brand absent
The Lyon midfielder Amandine Henry, victim of a muscle injury to the left calf on Saturday in a club, does not appear, unlike her teammates Wendie Renard, Amel Majri or Eugenie Le Sommer.
This package will prevent Deacon from another difficult cohabitation with the 31-year-old player, whom she had snubbed in October for “sporting reasons” and from whom she had withdrawn the captain’s armband during the last November camp, marked by strong tensions between the two women.
A title to keep
The Blue, title holders, will face Iceland and Switzerland at the Tournament de France on February 17 and 20 in Sedan and Metz. The FFF announced Tuesday morning the package, “because of the health context” of Norway, a third opponent that the Federation seeks to replace.
