Difficult weekend for Axel Disasi.
Not selected by Didier Deschamps for the gathering of the French team which starts on Monday, the central defender experienced quite a moment of solitude with his club Chelsea this Sunday.
Opposed to Leicester in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, the Blues won (4-2) at the end of added time but gave themselves a real scare and came very close to playing an extension against the team playing in the Championship.
The game had started well, however, since Mauricio Pochettino's men returned to the locker room with a two-goal advantage, before being caught.
At the origin of this comeback, the bug gag registered against his camp by Disasi.
Put under pressure by Foxes striker Patson Daka, the former Monegasque missed his throw towards his goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
The French international gave his teammate no chance by lobbing him from 25 meters.

Fortunately for him, his ball remained without consequences, since Carney Chukwuemeka (90th + 2) then Noni Madueke (90 + 8) delivered the current 11th in the Premier League at the very end of the match.
Having become an indisputable starter at Chelsea since his arrival last summer, the central defender remained on a good period, since he participated in all of the London team's last 21 matches.
Present in the France group during the 2022 World Cup, Disasi played five matches in the blue jersey and notably participated in the World Cup final against Argentina.
