Zapping Onze Mondial Hugo Lloris: The big dates in blue
After the turmoil around the retirement of Antoine Griezmann and the absence of Kylian Mbappé, Didier Deschamps can now concentrate on the group he has available in the France team for the two matches against Israel and Belgium. The Blues coach will notably have the opportunity to see two players who have been out of touch for a while, Christopher Nkunku and Wesley Fofana, Chelsea friends.
Chelsea wanted him back
For the first named, who is finding playing time and rhythm in England, his influence could quickly become important, particularly after the departure of Griezmann. For the second, it is above all the question of injuries which is central, he who has to deal with regular physical problems. Besides, the team of the day ensures that retaining Fofana in Blue is not easy at the moment. Chelsea would indeed be putting a lot of pressure behind the scenes for the ASSE-trained defender to stay in London during this international break. But the Blues staff did not give up and decided to keep the player, even providing Chelsea doctors with exams taken yesterday to examine Fofana’s knee, in order to ease tensions. It remains to be seen whether Fofana will play one of the two matches.
To summarize
The assembly of the French team began near Clairefontaine with Wesley Fofana remaining in the group. But Chelsea are trying everything behind the scenes. Indeed, the London club is very pressing with its player.
