Didier Deschamps may not have his entire group available to face South Africa on Tuesday March 29 at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium. At a press conference on Monday, the coach announced that Paul Pogba and Aurélien Tchouaméni, both holders Friday March 25 against Côte d’Ivoire (2-1), will not participate in the last training this Monday, at 6:30 p.m.
The first, hit in the left foot, had been in treatment for the past few days. The second author of the winning goal against Côte d’Ivoire is “in a feverish state”, Didier Deschamps said on Monday. “We will take stock with the staff for their participation or not in the meeting”, specified the coach who can, on the other hand, count on the return of N’Golo Kanté. After having had to leave the rally for personal reasons last week, the midfielder is fit to start the match on Tuesday.
In addition, the coach confirmed during the same press briefing that Mike Maignan will hold within the confines of Losc, his former club. He will replace Hugo Lloris in the tricolor cage.
