A Marseillais replaces a Madrilenian. Thursday, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced that Jordan Veretout replaces Ferland Mendy in the group of 23 Blues selected by Didier Deschamps for the qualifying matches for the next Euro in 2024.
Mendy, not retained for the last World Cup, is indeed currently supported in Qatar for pain in a tibia. Warned this Thursday, the coach of the France team therefore called on Jordan Veretout who should join the Blues at Clairefontaine on Saturday noon. The Marseillais had participated in the world campaign in December 2022 in Qatar and thus found his teammates. The summoning of a midfielder to replace a left-back suggests that Eduardo Camavinga will double the two positions as during the rally in March. At Real Madrid, the former Rennes player has regularly moved into this left-back position this season, even if he prefers to operate in midfield.
The France team will face Gibraltar on Friday in Faro (8:45 p.m. French time, live on TF1) before hosting Greece at the Stade de France three days later (8:45 p.m. live on TF1). So far, the tricolor vice-world champions occupy first place in Pool B with two successes against the Netherlands (4-0), then Ireland (1-0) in as many matches played.
