The French national team has completed their preparation for the November matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Azerbaijan at the CNF Clairefontaine training center.

According to a report from the official website of the French Football Federation, coach Didier Deschamps was forced to exclude forward Randal Colr Muani from "Tottenham" due to an ankle injury. In his place, he called up midfielder Florian Tovena from "Lille" for Les Bleus.

Moreover, yesterday the coach also called up midfielder Cefren Thuram of Turin's "Juventus." This recall is linked to injuries sustained by defender Eduardo Camavinga of Madrid's "Real," who has issues with his patellar tendon.

Therefore, Didier Deschamps now counts on 25 players.
