Able to count on his full group, Didier Deschamps made a set-up in Doha on Monday evening, the day before the first match for the Blues in the World Cup.
Before facing Australia, this Tuesday (8 p.m., TF 1), at the Al Janoub stadium, the coach again made his team rehearse his ranges.
Like yesterday, during the session open to the public, Raphaël Varane took part in the collective session.
But it is in the team of supposed replacements that the Mancunian was aligned.
Failing to be ready or sufficiently in rhythm, it is from the bench that the vice-captain could follow the entry into the matter of the Blues in front of the Aussies.
In the team of supposed incumbents, it is indeed the hinge Konaté - Upamecano who made his mark in the axis of defense.
In the midfield, we found Adrien Rabiot and Aurélien Tchouaméni with Antoine Griezmann, in the same team, who should play the relay between the middle and the attack.
Ousmane Dembélé, Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud wore the same chasuble during the opposition.
They should compose the attack of the Blues against the
Socceroos
.
The probable composition of the France team
Lloris (cap.) - Pavard, Konaté, Upamecano, L. Hernandez - Rabiot, Tchouaméni - Dembélé, Griezmann, Mbappé - Giroud
