Blue: Katoto absent for Bonadei’s first list

Marie-Antoinette Katoto, injured at the last minute, is the big absentee from Laurent Bonadei’s first list, but several young players have been called up for “renew the group“, he explained on Thursday. The successor to Hervé Renard, of whom he was assistant, notably called for the first time the goalkeeper Marie-Morgan Sieber, the defender Lou Boagert, the midfielder Margaux Le Mouël and the forwards Cindy Caputo and Kelly Gago.

For friendly matches against Jamaica and Switzerland in October, he maintained his confidence in veterans like Eugénie Le Sommer and Wendie Renard, who remains captain. Amel Majri, who was not selected for the Olympics, was expected to return, Bonadei said, but she was also injured. The technician was already deprived of injury to Lyon defender Selma Bacha, as well as Real Madrid midfielder Sandie Toletti.
