The Blues’ training two days before the match against Germany in Dortmund this Sunday gave rise to a long discussion between coaches Didier Deschamps and Antoine Griezmann. Theo Hernandez was the only person absent from the mass session.
The French team continued their preparations two days before facing a German team in full crisis during a friendly match on the lawns of the Signal Iduna Park (9 pm). Today’s collective training took place without Theo Hernández, who worked separately with the physical trainer after feeling a little pain this Saturday. A new update will be made on Monday.
Many changes are being seen in the eleven
On the other hand, Mike Maignan, who was absent from training on Saturday, returned with the group this Sunday. After an autograph and selfie session with a public composed of FFF employees, sponsors and players’ families, a protest was held at half court. This Sunday a team of players without bibs could resemble Didier Deschamps’ creation.
As they announced earlier, the starting lineup should see several changes after the win against Ireland (2-0). Only Upamecano will retain his position on the defensive line, with Camavinga taking the left lane for example, while Fofana and Coman could also start. Unsurprisingly, Kolo Muani is set to replace Giroud, who has been sidelined, and Milan have returned to a 4-3-3 up front.
Deschamps and Griezmann talked in detail
A composition to be confirmed or refuted during a closed session scheduled for this Monday in Dortmund. Today’s session also saw a lengthy discussion between Didier Deschamps and Antoine Griezmann, among other players.
1,900 French supporters are also expected to travel to Germany, including 230 members of the Irresistibles Français, to watch their team face selection in complete doubt, having recently parted ways with their coach.
Probable composition of France team to face Germany:
Maignan – Pavard, Upamecano, Saliba, Camavinga – Fofana, Griezmann, Tchoumeni – Koeman, Kolo Muani, Mbappé.
