Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté has been included in the France squad for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and Chile, despite his recent injury setback. Konaté, who has been sidelined with a muscle injury since early March, returns to the national team after missing out on the previous Euro 2024 qualifiers due to injury.
On the other hand, Chelsea's Axel Disasi has been omitted from the 23-man squad announced by manager Didier Deschamps. The decision comes as a surprise to some, as Disasi had stepped in for Konaté in the last international break.
Another notable inclusion in the squad is Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who has been dealing with a foot injury but still received the call-up. This demonstrates Deschamps' confidence in Rabiot's ability to recover in time for the friendlies.
Exciting news for Aston Villa fans as winger and attacking midfielder Moussa Diaby earns his first call-up to the national team since March 2023. Diaby has been in fine form in the Premier League this season, earning him a spot in the squad.
The France squad features a mix of experienced players and promising talents across various positions. The team will face Germany in Lyon on March 23 before taking on Chile in Marseille three days later.
Key players in the squad include the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, and Ousmane Dembele, who will be crucial to France's success in the upcoming friendlies.
Overall, the France squad boasts a strong lineup with a good blend of youth and experience, setting the stage for exciting matches against Germany and Chile.
