French team: Chevalier and Mbappé present, Kolo Muani back… the list of the Blues for the March break

As expected, the Blues coach unveiled this Thursday an expanded list of 26 names for the matches of this express international break in March, with two friendly matches for the Blues, in Boston on March 26 against Brazil then in Washington on the 29th against Colombia.

Despite the expectations around the goalkeeper position, Didier Deschamps decided to renew his usual trio including Lucas Chevalier, downgraded to PSG but still recalled. No Jean Butez (Como) therefore nor Robin Risser (Lens).

In defense, Jules Koundé forfeited, the Blues coach called for the first time on the versatile Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu, capable of playing both on the right and in the center. Unavailable against PSG on Tuesday, Chelsea full-back Malo Gusto is present on the list.

In midfield, no surprises: Didier Deschamps did not have to deal with major packages and was able to call Camavinga, Kanté, Koné, Rabiot, Tchouaméni and Zaire-Emery are all there.

In attack, despite his recent return from injury, captain Kylian Mbappé is very present.

Bradley Barcola injured, the Blues staff did not need to rack their brains to replace him as there is no shortage of talent in the offensive sector. Around number 10 of the Blues, we will find Akliouche, Dembélé, Cherki, Ekitiké, Olise, Doué, Kolo Muani and Thuram.
