the captain of the Blues in the absence of known Mbappé?

A page seems to be turning for the vice-world champion selection. This Thursday, Didier Deschamps already revealed his second list of the season. A list without Antoine Griezmann, who had announced his international retirement a few hours earlier, and without Kylian Mbappé. Although he entered the game in Lille with Real Madrid the day before, the captain of the French team is still not fully recovered from his latest hamstring injury.

If the vice-captain no longer shows up, the captain will have to be replaced for this gathering in October. According to information from our colleagues at RMC Sport, Mike Maignan should recover Kylian Mbappé’s armband. The goalkeeper has quickly established himself as the boss of this French group since the retirement of Hugo Lloris. After the defeat against Italy, the AC Milan goalkeeper let out a huge rant, not hesitating to take on Kylian Mbappé and the French stars in particular. The Blues will face Israel – which has still not been sanctioned by UEFA and FIFA unlike Russia in 2022 – (October 10 at 8:45 p.m.) then Belgium for the clash against the Red Devils (October 14 at 8:45 p.m.) in the League of Nations.
