Paris midfielder SG Kheira Hamraoui has not been called up to the France team list for April matches, announced coach Corinne Deacon, who also did without Eugénie Le Sommer at two months old. of the Euro.
With the exception of Hamraoui, Corinne Deacon unveiled a stabilized group of 23 players with a view to the two qualifying matches for the 2023 World Cup on the program, in Wales then against Slovenia on April 8 and 12, with the possibility of winning a ticket for the World Cup.

Uncertainty persists about his chances of appearing in the next list, that of the Euro in England scheduled for July 6 to 31.
Former captain Amandine Henry, yet operational in Lyon, is also dismissed, unsurprisingly, like Le Sommer, absent for a year and injured since mid-March.
In the middle, it is the Bordelaise Ella Palis (4 selections) who benefits from these sidelines.
In attack, the coach has systematically laid down the names of Katoto, Diani, Delphine Cascarino, Melvine Malard and Sandy Baltimore for a few months.
