Right back Orlane Ahanda and left back Djazz Chambertin are the two players not selected for the 2023 World Cup (November 29-December 17) by the coach of the French handball team Olivier Krumbholz, who reduced Monday to 18 elements his group.
Krumbholz will have to draw from this list, announced by the French Federation, 16 players for each match, the other two taking their places in the stands.
