This Saturday, Didier Deschamps did not reveal any secrets behind closed doors at San Siro. On the eve of the League of Nations final against Spain (this Sunday at 8:45 p.m.), the coach did not reveal his intentions. The Blues, winners of Belgium (3-2) this Thursday in the semifinals of the event, were content with a light session with toros and passing exercises. France has one day less recovery than La Roja. “Ideally, it's better to have four than three days. It could have been worse. Spain was in Milan and stayed in Milan. We do everything to optimize recovery. But we will not look for excuses, “explained the national coach earlier this Saturday.

In all likelihood, the boss of the Blues should only carry out a single touch-up, constrained and forced.
Adrien Rabiot indeed learned this Saturday morning that he was positive for Covid-19 and now owes a period of isolation.
His package is in addition to that of Lucas Digne (muscle pain).

In the midfield, in addition to the irremovable Paul Pogba, Deschamps has the choice between Matteo Guendouzi and Jordan Veretout, probably still a little tender for this level.
Last month, after N'Golo Kanté's withdrawal, he gave playing time to Aurélien Tchouaméni, who now has four caps (one tenure in Ukraine, 1-1).
The coach was not disappointed by his first steps in selection.
He logically becomes the favorite to replace Adrien Rabiot this Sunday in the final against Spain.
In order to install his three attackers in the best conditions, Deschamps plans to align his formation again in 3-4-3.
Probable composition of the Blues: Lloris (cap.) - Koundé, Varane, L. Hernandez - Pavard, Pogba, Tchouaméni, T. Hernandez - Griezmann, Mbappé, Benzema.
