It seems that two players will not participate in the French national team's home match against Azerbaijan.
Idman.biz reports that according to journalists who attended the training session on October 7, the absence of two players was noticeable.
We are talking about Kylian Mbappe and Ibrahima Konate. The first player arrived with an ankle injury from Real Madrid's last game. The second player is tired after a busy schedule at Liverpool.
"Both are likely to miss the next game for "Les Bleus". A game against a team that is very weak on paper does not necessarily require the captain and vice-captain to be on the field. Other players, such as Hugo Ekitike or Dayot Upamecano or even William Saliba, will certainly have a chance to prove themselves. Note that Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Rayan Cherki, Bradley Barcola, Marcus Thuram and Aurelien Tchouameni will also not play," writes the 90min website.
The probable starting lineup of "Les Bleus" is as follows: Maignan, Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez, Kone, Rabiot, Olise, Coman, Ekitike, Akliouche.
It should be noted that the France-Azerbaijan match will be held on October 10 at the Parc des Princes stadium. The game will start at 22:45 Baku time.
