The players knew it since the announcement of the list of 26 given by Hervé Renard at the beginning of June: limited to 23 members for the World Cup (July 20 – August 20), the France group must part with three names. According to our information, the French coach will already be deprived of Oriane Jean-François. For the young Parisian midfielder, it was an adductor injury that deprived her of this World Cup.
Aged 21, Jean-François dreamed of “spending her birthday” (August 14) in Sydney, as she confided to us during an interview carried out last week in Clairefontaine. But the pain prevents her from being at 100% and she will not be able to hold her place. Aïssatou Tounkara and Solène Durand should, also according to our information, not go to Australia. Choices that seem logical with regard to individual situations.
When the list was announced on June 6, Hervé Renard warned: “There were 26 players in April. I had not put Aïssatou. She was not often a starter with Manchester United. I gave myself the right to call him. She knows the data perfectly. It’s up to her to push the door to be part of the 23, by expressing her athletic qualities to demonstrate that she can take the place of another in the same position. »
She therefore did not convince the staff enough, very armed in defense thanks to the presence of versatile profiles like Estelle Cascarino (left side and central defender) or Élisa De Almeida (right side and central defender). Finally, the third player designated to leave is goalkeeper Solène Durand. The door of Guingamp, 28, passes behind Mylène Chavas (Real Madrid) for the place of number 3 in the hierarchy. Durand will however make the trip to Melbourne on July 8.
Before the big debut against Jamaica on July 23 in Sydney, Les Bleues play a last friendly match on July 14 in Melbourne against Australia. Hervé Renard and his staff want to keep the four goalkeepers until the start of the competition in the event of injury.
