Austria-France: towards the premiere of Ibrahima Konaté

by time news

The last training carried out by the France team this Thursday evening in Vienna (Austria) did not deliver any decisive lessons for the composition which will start Friday evening’s meeting at the Ernst-Happel stadium. In particular about the system which will be favored by the staff of Didier Deschamps for this third match in the League of Nations, after a defeat against Denmark (1-2) and a draw in Croatia (1-1).

The last opposition during the collective session saw a clash of two teams at 10 against 10. In this configuration, the defenses were composed of a line of four but which can evolve according to the identity of the 11th player elected. The only certainty: Ibrahima Konaté, called at the start of the week to compensate for Raphaël Varane’s package, will start, unless surprised, on Friday evening. The Liverpool defender will thus know his first selection in Blue.

In midfield, Aurélien Tchouaméni could well chain a third tenure in a row. And Boubacar Kamara should accompany him in the midfield for his first tenure in the France team. Adrien Rabiot trained separately this Thursday, as did Kylian Mbappé, contenting himself with jogging around the field. Finally, in attack, Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann should find a starting place.

The probable eleven: Lloris (cap.) – Pavard, Konaté, L. Hernandez, T. Hernandez – Coman, Tchouaméni, Kamara, Diaby – Benzema, Griezmann.
