🚨 Official: France's World Cup squad, three surprises!

26 future world champions?

On Thursday evening, Didier Deschamps unveiled his France squad that will try to win back the World Cup this summer in North America.

Robin Risser is the big — and only — new face in this selection. Voted best goalkeeper of the season, the Lens player climbs aboard at the expense of Lucas Chevalier, who has dropped down the pecking order at Paris Saint-Germain.

Considered an outsider before the squad announcement, Maxence Lacroix will indeed be part of the trip!

Under fire in Madrid, Eduardo Camavinga is the big loser in this squad list.

The other notable omission is Estéban Lepaul. Ligue 1’s top scorer (20 goals) will be left behind. The Rennes forward does not benefit from Hugo Ekitike’s injury withdrawal. That privilege goes to Jean-Philippe Mateta: the Crystal Palace target man was preferred to Randal Kolo Muani.

Otherwise, there are no major surprises: Deschamps has called up his trusted men and safe bets. The backbone of the team remains intact.

Kylian Mbappé, , , … A veritable attacking armada will arrive in Boston next June.
