Left behind in the initial list unveiled by Didier Deschamps, Lucas Chevalier could finally join the French team squad on Monday. Alphonse Areola, the Blues’ third goalkeeper, is uncertain and could leave his place to the Lille player.
Finally Lucas Chevalier’s time?
It was, perhaps, only a postponement. Not called up in the list unveiled by Didier Deschamps on Thursday, to the surprise of many observers who see him as the second best French goalkeeper today, Lucas Chevalier could finally join the France group in the coming days. Replaced at half-time in West Ham – Manchester United this Saturday due to persistent back pain, Alphonse Areola is uncertain for the early September gathering.
As reported The Teama point will be made between the technical and medical staff of the French team and the 31-year-old goalkeeper to determine ” the exact nature of his injury and the precise duration of his unavailability “. In the event of an inconclusive examination, Lucas Chevalier should be called up by Didier Deschamps to compensate for this absence. The Lille goalkeeper is number 4 in the hierarchy established by the Blues staff, behind Mike MaignanBrice Samba and Alphonse Areola. With the hope that if he were to be called up, he would upset the established order and establish himself among the three best French goalkeepers.
