FRANCE TEAM LIST. After Karim Benzema’s package, Didier Deschamps announced that the latter would not be replaced.
Bad luck hits the France team. Integrated into collective training for the very first time in the rally, Karim Benzema quickly left his teammates, complaining of the thigh according to information on site. Unfortunately, pessimism very quickly took over and on the evening of November 19, the official package for the Ballon d’Or 2022 was announced.
After Christopher Nkunku, Didier Deschamps must therefore face a second package in a few days.
