He is one of the “very disappointed”. It was Didier Deschamps himself who recognized him on Wednesday evening as soon as his list was revealed. Lucas Digne is one of the big losers on this list of 25 for the World Cup in Qatar. The return to a four-defender system worked against him, as he did against Marseille’s Jonathan Clauss.
The side of Aston Villa, 29 years old and 46 selections, however brought a touch of smile to this inevitably difficult moment. Already absent in 2018 and 2021, after having participated in the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016, he published on social networks a video of his two children, the two “lucky” in this affair.
“Daddy, he’s staying home!” Dad, he’s staying home! “, we hear them sing in the family living room, before the mother takes the floor to announce the rest of the program. ” So where are we going now ? On holiday “.
The Frenchman must still remain on his guard. He may very well be required to urgently integrate the France group, especially in the event of injury to one of the Hernandez brothers, the two applicants for the post of left side. Didier Deschamps has until November 21 and the day before the first match against Australia to modify his list.
