French team: injuries will shake up Zinédine Zidane’s list

Zinédine Zidane faces multiple injury setbacks as he prepares to unveil his upcoming French national team squad. William Saliba and Maxence Lacroix remain sidelined in central defense, while Jules Koundé and Benjamin Pavard are dealing with injury concerns on the right side. In attack, Ousmane Dembélé is ruled out, alongside an injured Estéban Lepaul and an uncertain Michael Olise.

The manager will receive a boost in midfield with Aurélien Tchouameni, Warren Zaïre-Emery, and Adrien Rabiot available for selection. Inter Milan forward Marcus Thuram could benefit from the attacking absences, according to Téléfoot, while Bournemouth forward Éli-Junior Kroupi returned to action with an assist against Leeds.
