The first in a small group. As always on Monday, while many national teams play the day before at home, the Blues trained with a reduced team in the pouring rain of Clairefontaine for a light session at the end of the day, which began the preparation of the two Nations championship matches against Israel, Thursday 10 October (in Budapest), and Belgium, Monday 14 October (in Brussels).

On the Pibarot pitch nine Blues including the Parisians Randal Kolo Muani and Warren Zaire-Emery who carried out a small cleaning. If the youngest of the group was content with a jog with Guendouzi, Saliba, Koné, Clauss and Digne, the former Nantes player, replaced at half-time on Sunday evening against PSG in Nice (1-1), was able to come close to scoring the ball in the company of Christopher Nkunku and Jules Koundé for one-on-one exercises and a few shots on goal. In the absence of the usual goalkeepers, in the room with the rest of the team, it was the young Strasbourg goalkeeper Robin Risser who came to oppose the A in the cage.

At the end of training, Didier Deschamps had time to exchange long minutes with Koundé, who should be one of the essential leaders of this French team in the absence of Kylian Mbappé, N’Golo Kanté and after Antoine Griezmann’s retirement from the national team. Like Mike Maignan or Aurélien Tchouaméni, who are among the team’s emerging managers, the Barcelona player has solid resources to inherit the armband in at least one of the two matches of this gathering.

A role that Dayot Upamecano will not play, the Bayern Munich defender was forced to retire after the injury on Sunday in the league against Frankfurt (3-3). He was replaced by Loïc Badé, who arrived to complete the group in the late afternoon. The Sevilla defender (selection 0) had already been called up as a reinforcement last month, but had to withdraw due to discomfort felt before the match against Italy (1-3, at the Parc des Princes).
