Special Envoy to Faro
Classic for Didier Deschamps. With some alterations anyway, and two new ones. To face the modest selection of Gibraltar this Friday (8:45 p.m.), during the third day of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the Blues will indeed present a fairly classic face, as Le Figaro has learned. It should be noted all the same that Eduardo Camavinga invites himself into the 11 in order to replace Adrien Rabiot, package, alongside Antoine Griezmann and Aurélien Tchouaméni. Théo Hernandez can finally hold his place despite a small alert in recent days, but we will find Wesley Fofana in the central hinge, rather than Dayot Upamecano. First for him. In front, it is Kingsley Coman who is preferred to Ousmane Dembélé on the right side, with Olivier Giroud in the center and of course Kylian Mbappé, the captain, on the left.
And in the goals? This will be Brice Samba's big premiere. The Lensois doorman “benefits” from a little discomfort felt by Mike Maignan. Usual number 1 in goal, the latter is preserved.
The starting lineup of the Blues: Samba - Pavard, Konaté, W. Fofana, T. Hernandez- Griezmann, Tchouaméni, Camavinga - Coman, Giroud, Mbappé (cap)
