Patrick Mboma, former striker of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon and current Canal+ consultant, has revealed his predicted list of 23 players for the French national team ahead of the World Cup. Here’s a breakdown of his selections:
Goalkeepers:
- Hugo Lloris
- Steve Mandanda
- Stéphane Ruffier
Defenders:
- Sébastien Corchia
- Mathieu Debuchy
- Eliaquim Mangala
- Raphaël Varane
- Laurent Koscielny
- Mamadou Sakho
- Layvin Kurzawa
- Patrice Evra
Midfielders:
- Mathieu Flamini
- Samir Nasri
- Blaise Matuidi
- Mathieu Valbuena
Forwards:
- Karim Benzema
- Olivier Giroud
- Antoine Griezmann
- Franck Ribéry
It’s worth noting that Samir Nasri, who has been a subject of debate due to his past performances and relationship with the national team, is included in Mboma’s list.
We’ll have to wait until Tuesday to see if Didier Deschamps’ official list matches Mboma’s predictions.
