A Blue kicked out after France-Belgium

Manu Tournoux reports that Adrien Rabiot's starting position for the France national team appears increasingly threatened following a dynamic midfield display against Belgium. Pundits and observers highlighted that the absence of Rabiot allowed Eduardo Camavinga, Lucas Da Cunha, and Rayan Cherki to inject necessary pace, verticality, and pressing into the team under Zinedine Zidane.

On RMC's L'After Foot, consultant Daniel Riolo criticized Rabiot's slower style, arguing that the midfield operated significantly faster with Camavinga playing in his place. Alongside analyst Walid Acherchour praising the newly formed midfield trio, the article notes that both Rabiot and the injured Aurélien Tchouameni face intense competition for future selection.
