Essential at PSG, at only 17 years and 8 months, Warren Zaire-Emery is called up for the first time by Didier Deschamps. This Thursday, at the FFF headquarters, the boss of the Blues, as revealed on our site on November 6, summoned the young Parisian talent for the last two matches of the year 2023. Two matches counting for the playoffs of the Euro 2024 are on the program, the first on Saturday November 18 in Nice, against Gibraltar, then the following Tuesday in Athens to play Greece. Already qualified, the Tricolores must still take three points to be assured of appearing among the 6 seeds during the draw carried out in Hamburg (Germany), on Saturday December 2.
Le Titi is the only rookie among the 23 players summoned by “DD”. If he comes into play in one of these two matches, he will beat the record for the youngest post-war international, held by Eduardo Camavinga, aged 17 years, nine months and 29 days for his first cap against the Croatia on September 8, 2020 (4-2).
Todibo rather than Disasi
For this gathering, the French team is without Aurélien Tchouaméni and Benjamin Pavard, both injured. The coach can, however, count on the returns of several elements in defense, namely Jules Koundé, William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano who were unable to hold their place in October.
Interesting for his return to Blue last month, Jonathan Clauss is still on the list, just like Jean-Clair Todibo, very successful with Nice and who retains the coach’s confidence despite his unhappy smile during the minute of silence before Netherlands – France , October 13. Preferred over Axel Disasi, the Gym defender will perhaps have the opportunity to play a few minutes at the Allianz Riviera, a venue he knows well, next week. The line of attack is unsurprising. Around captain Kylian Mbappé, we find Antoine Griezmann, Kingsley Coman, Randal Kolo Muani, Olivier Giroud, Marcus Thuram and Ousmane Dembélé.

Goalkeepers (3): Mike Maignan – Brice Samba – Alphonse Areola
