Didier Deschamps is set to announce the French squad for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil tomorrow. There’s anticipation around whether he will announce the final 23-man squad or a provisional list of 30 players that will later be trimmed down to 23.
Samir Nasri’s exclusion from the squad is widely expected, which could be controversial given his strong season. Pierre Ménès has voiced his concerns about this potential decision, emphasizing Nasri’s significant contribution throughout the season. He believes that not including Nasri even in the initial 30-man list would be unjust, especially considering the quality of midfielders France has this season.
However, Deschamps might spring a surprise by including Morgan Schneiderlin in the squad. The Southampton midfielder could make it to the final list, which would be a significant twist.
According to L’Equipe’s predictions, the potential squad members are:
Goalkeepers (2 out of 3): Lloris, Mandanda
Defenders (7 out of 8): Debuchy, Sagna, Koscielny, Sakho, Varane, Mangala, Evra
Midfielders (4 out of 6): Cabaye, Matuidi, Pogba, Sissoko
Forwards (5 out of 6): Benzema, Giroud, Griezmann, Ribéry, Valbuena
