FRANCE TEAM LIST. After the summons of Marcus Thuram, a newcomer, Axel Disasi joined the France group in place of Kimpembe.
New package in the France team this Monday, November 14 with Presnel Kimpembe who must withdraw, replaced by the Monegasque Axel Disasi. On social networks, the PSG defender expressed his disappointment. “After various tests carried out with the technical teams of PSG but also of the French team, I made the decision not to play the World Cup. As many know, I am always ready to fight for the selection and representing my country is always a source of immense pride and having the chance to play in the most prestigious of competitions again is an honour.
Unfortunately, my health comes first and the latest tests have shown that I will not be able to ensure a 200% performance and I do not wish to destabilize the group. I wish the best of competitions to all my teammates, I have confidence in you and I will always be your first supporter… Come on Les Bleus!”
