Didier Deschamps will be able to count on an almost complete workforce for the last rehearsal before the start of Euro 2021 against Germany next Tuesday in Munich.
Only Adrien Rabiot and Kingsley Coman slightly affected, and on the sidelines of the group during the last training at the Stade de France, should be preserved this Tuesday evening against Bulgaria in a friendly.
The two trotted with a physical trainer, and they are unlikely to put on their boots to face the Bulgarians.
During the final session which took place this Monday evening, the coach aligned his typical team, less Rabiot therefore, but with N'Golo Kanté spared last week in the first match against Wales (3-0 ). “In recent days, we have adjusted his program because he had a slight problem, nothing too bad. We therefore focused on preparation, ”said the coach. Lucas Hernandez, hit in the knee against the Welsh, and spared in recent days, participated normally in training. He will therefore be available and will begin the meeting. The starting team played against a five-a-side defense, as should be the case against Bulgaria but also against the Germans next week. This is also one of the reasons which led the coach to favor this opponent as he confided in a press conference.
“This match cannot be a squad review,” Deschamps explained.
Afterwards, if I have to arrange things, I can always resort to six changes.
Especially if there are contingencies.
The coach especially hopes that the opponent of the evening will not be quickly reduced to ten like Wales last Wednesday in Nice.
He expects a slightly more consistent opposition from the Bulgarians, and feeds the hope that the latter will be able to pose defensive difficulties to his Blues.
Which was not really the case against the British players at the Allianz Riviera.
The probable composition:
Lloris (cap.) - Pavard, Varane, Kimpembe, Hernandez - Pogba, Kanté, Tolisso - Griezmann - Mbappé, Benzema
