As the announcement approaches, Samir Nasri expressed his opinion on the players who deserve to join the Blues group.
On the Canal+ set after the matches Lille – Juventus et Bologna – Monaco in the Champions League, the former French international suggested that two young talents should be included in Didier Deschamps' list: “For me, there are two players who absolutely must be called: Lucas Chevalier and Maghnes Akliouche.”
The LOSC goalkeeper and the Monaco winger have shone since the start of the season with their respective clubs. Their exceptional form at club leaves no doubt: a call-up to the French team now seems to be a matter of time. This selection could well materialize in the days to come, during the next Nations League meetings.

Nasri wants Lucas Chevalier and Maghnes Akliouche in Blues
Lucas Chevalieryoung LOSC goalkeeper, has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in Ligue 1 this season, with solid and decisive performances.

The two Nations League matches in November are of vital importance for France, which aims to maintain its rank among the best European nations. These last matches before the winter break will therefore be an opportunity for Didier Deschamps to test new profiles and prepare his team for future events.
OM: direction Trets for the training center?
As part of its three-year project, OM plans to develop new infrastructure for its youth and women's teams. After studying several options in Marseille, notably the Martine stadium and the Pont-de-Vivaux racecourse, the club is now turning to the small town of Trets, located north of Bouches-du-Rhône, as a potential site. for this future equipment.
Indeed, according to the Team, Trets, which recently hosted the France Espoirs team led by Thierry Henry, benefits from a modern sports complex and quality pitches. During this preparation for the Olympics, the Bleuets coach had also praised the excellent training conditions offered by the town. In recent months, the OM reserves have already trained several times on these pitches, taking advantage of their optimal condition during the renovation work at the Commanderie. Before long, these facilities should also host the matches of the reserve team, currently managed by Jean-Pierre Papin.
The reserve team will play at Trets, will the training center follow?
The development project of shots is part of a larger reorganization of the Marseille club's infrastructure. Indeed, OM wishes to relieve congestion at the Commanderie, currently too small to accommodate both the professional team and the youth teams. The Cesne stadium, which houses theABOUT Campus since its inauguration in 2018, no longer meets the club's expectations, particularly with regard to the training of young talents. The idea is therefore to create a training center in Trets, while reserving the Commanderie exclusively for professionals.
Frank McCourt is expected to travel to Provence at the end of the week to discuss the next steps in this development. The final choice of site will be decisive for the future of training at OM.

This season, Leonardo Balerdi et Geronimo Rulli play a crucial role at OM, contributing greatly to the team's strong performances. Balerdi, in defense, did not regain the strength and serenity of last season in order to secure the defense. The captain often changes pairs and the defense lacks stability. For his part, Gerónimo Rulli, who arrived this summer, brings reassuring stability in the cages. The Argentine goalkeeper, with his sharp reflexes and experience, quickly gained the trust of his teammates and supporters. Together, they have become essential figures in the starting eleven…
