Didier Deschamps has one month left to check off the list of 26 names (or less) of players who will go to the World Cup in the United States. A month of racking your brain and hoping that your best players don’t get injured, like the terrible injury suffered by Hugo Ekitike to his Achilles tendon during the match between Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.
On May 14, the Blues coach will give his list to the TF1 news. From this moment on, and depending on the players who will play in the Champions League final on May 30, he will have one month to prepare his troops before the first World Cup match against Senegal on June 16. To be ready, the Blues will have two friendly matches.
The first will be in Nantes against Ivory Coast on June 4. The second opponent, revealed this Thursday by the FFF, will be Northern Ireland, with a meeting which will take place in Lille on June 8. If the Ivorians will be at the World Cup, the Northern Irish will see the World Cup on television. They were eliminated in the play-off phase by Italy.
