France last details to give the list, with six doubts
Didier Deschamps, coach of the French national team, will present tomorrow the squad list with doubts on all lines of play.
The main doubt falls into the arch Mike Maignan for the wound of one of his twins. The alternative for the Milan goalkeeper is Steve Mandanda of Rennes.

Deschamps’ big dilemma will be who will call the midfield, as he has two very important victims in N’Golo Kanté (Chelsea) and Paul Pogba (Juventus), key in the team that won Russia 2018.
Guendouzi (Marseille), Tchouaméni (Real Madrid), Rabiot (Juventus) and Fofana (Monaco) seem safe, while Camavinga (Real Madrid), Veretout (Marseille) and some other candidates with fewer chances would share the last place.
In attack, and together with the untouchables Mbappé (PSG) and Griezmann (Atlético de Madrid) and Benzema (Real Madrid), the coach should bet on Christopher Nkunku’s youth team (24). The last two places would be in between Kingsley Coman (Bayern), Olivier Giroud (Milan) and Ousmane Dembelé (Barcelona).
