Will Antoine Griezmann remain present at the Blues gathering?
Arriving at Clairefontaine this Monday like the rest of his teammates, the Blues playing master could miss the friendly matches against Germany and Chile, on March 23 and 26 respectively.
due to a “problem with his ankle”, as coach Dider Deschamps mentioned.
A decision will be made “between today and tomorrow morning” on his physical condition, as for the rest of the players.
The French international (127 caps) was a substitute this Sunday evening against FC Barcelona during the defeat of the Colchoneros (0-3).
Coming on at half-time, Griezmann played the entire second half but with a little discomfort.
Surely the remains of a small sprain of the right ankle contracted on February 20 in the round of 16 first leg against Inter Milan.
After missing three weeks of competition, the 32-year-old made his return by playing 105 minutes for his return, again against Inter, this Wednesday.
Dembélé and Maignan closely monitored
As soon as he arrived at Clairefontaine, the number 7 of the France team had to make a point with Didier Deschamps and his medical staff to take stock of his participation or not in this gathering.
The Blues coach's handyman is not the only one to experience a little alert.

“Some players have small problems.
The match is Saturday, we have time.
(…) Ousmane did not play but it is not a “physical” problem, even if it is the ear it is a treatment, Mike had a little problem at the end of the match with Milan, we will see how that evolves too.
Adrien shouldn't have any worries, neither should Ibou.
Lucas, a little feeling but it doesn’t seem to pose any more problems,” explained Didier Deschamps at a press conference.
So answer by tomorrow!
