Corentin Tolisso, the 2018 world champion who returned to his training club Lyon this summer after a long stay at Bayern Munich, listened attentively early Thursday afternoon to the announcement of Didier Deschamps' list for the matches of next week against Austria then Denmark in the League of Nations.
Tolisso had got it into his head that his decent but not breathtaking start to the season was likely to earn him a summons to the Blues.
“I had a little hope of course, he admitted frankly this Friday at a press conference before the match against PSG this Sunday.
Afterwards it is true that compared to the sequence of matches and what I could have it was a little early.
I have to play more, get up to speed and be very good.

Tolisso has not played in Blues since June 23, 2021 against Portugal (2-2) at the Euro.
He left Bayern where he was weighed down by injuries to join OL this summer.
He remains very popular with the tricolor staff.
Since the start of the season, he has played in Lyon's seven games and has played 383 minutes.
